About me
Hello, I’m Natalie and I’m a warm, conpassionate and welcoming counsellor based in central Cheltenham.
It is important to me that you feel safe, heard and understood. Whatever you are facing, I am here to support, encourage and empower you to find your way through it. Together we can work through the things that are causing you difficulties and holding you back from living your best and fullest life. You might not even know what these things are yet, but we can untangle them together. There's no rush, and no judgement - just a safe place to land, and to be.
“Secrets are the stones
That sink the boat
Take them out, look at them
Throw them out and float”
― Lemn Sissay
Please send me a text or email to book in for an initial session together. This is a chance for you see whether I feel like a good fit for you and what you need.
I do my best to reply to all enquiries within 24 hours. I understand how much courage it can take to reach out and ask for help, and I want you to know you will be met with warmth and care. I’m really looking forward to meeting you.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
