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 your journey towards 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
I work intuitively and gently focusing on how you are feeling in the present moment and then exploring together how past experiences or traumas may be impacting on how are feeling or behaving right now. I go at your pace building a space with you to exploring yourself and your issues in a warm and safe environment, and with absolutely no judgement.
I specialise in helping people find their voice after years of being silenced or by giving their lives to others, to create positive boundaries, and develop a sense that they are important and deserve to be loved, heard, and respected. By others but most importantly, by themselves. 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 specialise with are:
- Anxiety
- Stress / Burnout
- Grief and bereavement
- Trauma
- Low self-esteem and self-love
- Co-dependency / lack of boundaries
- Relationship issues
- Depression and Suicidal Ideation
- Childood traumas / family issues
- Sexuality
- LGBTQIA+
I use imagery techniques and visualisation where appropriate as it is an extremely powerful tool in unblocking my clients and their clarity. Where language may sometimes be a barrier the brain has an exceptional way of describing how you are thinking or feeling 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.
Ou work together will enable you to understand your current feelings, behaviours, thought patterns and relationships with others better, 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 are interested in working with me, please feel free to email and we can 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. Alongside my private practive, I am a Wellbeing Coach and run interactive bite-size Mindfulness training sessions which focus on supporting individuals to manage their wellbeing and provide them with tools to do so.
My clients
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 being a warm shoulder to cry on. These students inspired me to become a Psychotherapist 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:
- I 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 and student may be going through today.
- I specialise in supporting young adults from the ages of 16 - 35 working with them to navigate their life and find themselves amidst the pressures of work and imposter syndrome, social dynamics, and how their upbringing or childhood decisions may have impacted on how they live their adult life now.
I also have extensive experience working with adults around managing a positive work-life balance, avoiding burnout, understanding the need for external valididation, and coping with life's responsibilities. 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
