About me
Hi, I'm Natasha and I am a Psychotherapist and Wellbeing Coach welcoming you to my page.
Deciding that something in your life is not working anymore and seeking help can seem difficult or even scary, especially if you are not used to putting yourself first. I want to acknowledge your courage to choosing yourself and wanting to start this journey of healing.
Whatever you are finding difficult in your life, want to overcome, or would like to make more sense of, I am here for you.
How I work
My main purpose is to support you through exploring yourself and your issues in a warm and compassionate environment, and with absolutely no judgement.
I work by focusing on how you are feeling in the present moment and then exploring together how past experiences or traumas may be causing how you are feeling right now and impacting on your overall mental health.
I specialise in helping individuals find their voice after years of being silenced, create positive boundaries, and develop a sense that they are important and deserve to be loved and respected. If this stands out to you, then let me support you into making these changes.
Some of the other areas / members of the community that I work with are:
- Anxiety
- Stress
- Trauma
- Low self-esteem
- Co-dependency
- Relationship issues
- Lack of self-love
- Depression and Suicidal Ideation
- Childood traumas / family issues
- Sexuality
- LGBTQIA+
I use different integrated interventions and techniques, from Person Centred and Psychodynamic, to support you in your growth.
I also find that using imagery techniques and visualisation is an extremely powerful tool in unblocking a client and use these where appropriate. I find that where language may sometimes be a barrier to explaining how you are feeling or what you are thinking, the brain has an exceptional way of describing this via our imagination, images, or through our senses. If you are someone who likes creativity or is highly imaginative, then I can support you in finding yourself further through this.
The way I work will enable you to understand better your current feelings, behaviours, relationships, and thought patterns, and start the journey of seeing a positive change in your life. Because it's now time for you.
My practice
I offer short-term (of six, twelve and twenty-four sessions) and long-term open ended work through weekly online sessions.
If you have any questions around working with me, please feel free to email with your enquiries or to book an initial 30min phone/online consultation that is free of charge.
Training, qualifications & experience
A bit about my professional practice
I am an experienced integrative Psychotherapist with over half a decade of experience. I enjoy working with imagery and visualisaton techniques which I believe help improve the work that I do with my clients. Alongside this I run online interactive bite-size Mindfulness sessions which focus on supporting individuals to manage their wellbeing.
I have extensive experience working with young people and teenagers over 10 years, of which 6 years were in a Sixth Form. I worked with students on a daily basis providing not only academic support, but also pastoral support always making time to listen to their issues, worries, and fears, and at times a warm shoulder to cry on. These students inspired me to become a counsellor as I saw just how little accessible support is on offer for the younger members of our society.
I specialise with working with young people and young adults and believe that my knowledge of the school system, the pressure of exams, and university life allows me to truly empathise with what a young person may be going through today.
I also have extensive experience working with adults and I welcome anyone regardless of their age to my private practice.
I have experience working with members of the LGTBQIA+ community, particularly how culture and gender stereotypes may play a part on sexuality, or expressing your true authentic self.
I work cross-culturally, internationally (I can offer online sessions for you even if you are not in the UK), and with individuals from a range of diverse backgrounds.
My qualifications
Alongside being qualified as an intergrative Psychotherapist, I am a Mental Health First Aider, and I also have been awarded:
- Psychology BSc degree
- L4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling (CPCAB)
- Compassion Focused Therapy Diploma
- Advanced Shadow Mastery Diploma
- NLP Foundation Skills Diploma
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.

'I’ve found it immensely helpful and definitely necessary for my mental health journey over the past few months. I’d also like to say thank you for matching me with Natasha, I think the rapport we have with our therapists is the most important factor in a trusting, safe & positive dynamic; Natasha has been really supportive throughout my journey, and she embodies so many positive attributes of a good therapist! :)' - R.R
