About me
Hi, I'm Natalie.
I'm a counsellor who specialises in supporting people with anxiety to live happier and more fulfilled lives. I am experienced in, and love working with people who are new to therapy so please do reach out via email or book an introductory call to talk through any worries you have about starting therapy.
Why you might be here:
Anxiety comes in lots of shapes and sizes, and often gets mixed up with lots of other feelings; some things that you might be going through are:
- Feeling overwhelmed at work, stressed, tearful, often dreading have to start the day
- Bottling up feelings because you don’t want to be a burden or be ‘too much’ for people; often telling yourself you ‘should be able to handle it because other people have it worse’
- Feeling disconnected from friends and family; spending less time together or not feeling like yourself and communication is breaking down
- Smaller signs of not feeling like your usual self, like jobs around the house piling up like laundry and general cleaning but no motivation to do them
- Creating a routine feels challenging and frustrating because you know it can help but it’s hard to be consistent
How I can help:
In our work together, we’ll talk through what you’d like to bring to therapy so I understand your experiences and the context for your situation. We’ll start challenging thought patterns and ways to think differently, as well as small, practical steps you can take to move forward.
I’m here to help you through this period of change. I’ll be your cheerleader when you reach out to your friends for the first time in months or speak to your boss about that stressful situation at work. I’m here to listen to the difficult moments as well as the happy ones, helping you to work through the things holding you back so you can live a happier, more confident life.
What could a new chapter look like?
- Not crying on the way to work! Having the confidence to speak up about difficulties in the workplace, share new ideas and have a work/life balance
- Feeling more confident and happier within yourself, and more connected to your emotions
- Feeling able to be open and honest with those around you about your needs
- Feeling more connected with loved ones and strengthening those relationships
- Reduced people pleasing, letting go of the fear of upsetting others or being disliked
- Being open to new things like a change of career, taking up new hobbies, making new friends, or even moving house!
I’m experienced in working with people who are self-diagnosed, formally diagnosed, or questioning ADHD and autism. Bringing this into counselling can be an important part of working with anxiety, particularly when you feel like you’re ‘too weird’ or your brain is ‘broken’.

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.
