About me
I’m Natasha, a therapist and coach supporting people who look like they’re coping on the outside, but internally feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in overthinking or exhausted from carrying so much for so long.
Many of the people I work with are high-functioning, self-aware and used to being the “capable one” for everyone else, while privately struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, relationship difficulties, low self-worth or feeling disconnected from themselves.
Therapy isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about helping you become more aware of your triggers and limiting beliefs, feel safer within yourself and in your relationships, and create a life where you can feel more present, experience more joy, and feel more resilient when difficult things inevitably happen.
You might:
• overthink and doubt yourself
• feel constantly on edge
• struggle to switch off or relax
• feel emotionally exhausted despite functioning well
• find yourself stuck in the same relationship patterns
• want life to feel lighter, calmer and more meaningful — not just manageable
I work with:
• anxiety and overthinking
• high-functioning anxiety and burnout
• nervous system regulation
• emotionally immature or narcissistic parents
• relationship and communication difficulties
• couples therapy
• matrescence, identity and self-worth
In relationship work, we explore:
• why certain dynamics keep repeating
• where resentment quietly builds
• how avoidance, shutdown or people-pleasing show up
• how attachment patterns shape the way you connect, protect yourself and experience intimacy
• how to communicate more honestly, safely and effectively
My sessions are warm, honest and grounded. A space where you can breathe, feel understood and reconnect with yourself — slowing down enough to notice how you’re really feeling, learning to trust your gut again, and recognising what you need before you reach breaking point.
Many of the people I work with don’t want someone to simply analyse them. They want a space that helps them slow down enough to hear themselves again -to become kinder to themselves, stop treating everything as urgent, notice when their thoughts are spiralling, and understand how past experiences may be shaping the way they see themselves and the world.
I blend person-centred therapy, attachment theory, nervous system awareness and practical therapeutic tools. Before training as a therapist, I worked as a family support worker with families experiencing complex emotional needs, which gave me a deep, real-world understanding of how patterns develop and how meaningful change actually happens.
Therapy with me isn’t about becoming someone else.
It’s about learning to like who you are as an imperfect person -feeling calmer, more connected to yourself, and more able to enjoy your life and relationships without constantly feeling like you need to be more or do more.

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.

Additional information
I offer a free 30-minute telephone consultation.
The initial assessment appointment helps you to decide whether we can work together. I believe the most essential part of picking a counsellor is the relationships so this is your opportunity to see if we click and you feel safe to open up with me. I will also explain how I work and how I can support you.

Further information
How many sessions you may need is always difficult to answer, as it depends on how many issues we are exploring and healing may not always be a straightforward process. However, I work ethically and respectfully and appreciate that therapy is an investment of both your time and money. Therefore, I will continuously review our work to see where you are with the therapy.
