Natasha Williams

Hi and welcome to my profile.

My name is Natasha Williams and I am a qualified and experienced Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist with a Post graduate certificate, Diploma and Msc in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I am also a qualified Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) practitioner.

I specialise in supporting individuals who have been on the infertility treatment journey, as well as those who have experienced miscarriages, pregnancy loss, neonatal loss, have a fear of birth (Tokophobia) or have experienced a difficult birth ( birth trauma). I individually support women and their partners to process their trauma and make sense of their experiences. This may include a full course of therapy that may be a minimum of 10 sessions, or those who want a one off session/debrief.

I am experienced in offering therapy to individuals where this has been recommended due to the outcome of their medico legal case.

My work also includes working with other issues that have developed as a result of the trauma experiences, such as low self esteem that may present it self at work, home and within relationships, issues managing stress and difficulties in making plans for the future.

I use CBT and EMDR, which are approved by NICE and are considered as the most appropriate treatment approaches to treat trauma and anxiety. I believe my approach is client focused. I am a warm, caring, empathetic and genuine individual, which contributes importantly to the therapeutic relationship. By having a sound therapeutic relationship and by using the approaches of CBT and EMDR, I have positive experiences of helping many women and their partner’s to be able to process their trauma, make sense of what happened and establish a new balanced “normal”.

All sessions are currently taking place via video calling, although I am able to access a clinic address in Birmingham Edgbaston (B15) on a Monday morning for those who may want face to face.

I am an experienced and qualified clinical supervisor who offers supervision to Hi intensity trainees and CBT Psychotherapists.

Other areas of interest and vast experience -

Payments will be taken prior to the session either by cash or BACS.

Unfortunately, I do not offer any concessions.

I am registered with many private health insurance providers such as Avia, CIGNA and WPA and so I am able to offer therapy via their health policies.
