About me
Hi, I'm Nathalie. I'm a fully qualified counsellor offering online or telephone counselling. I understand that it can be a very hard decision to come for counselling and it can feel like a big step. But I think it is vital we treat our mental health the same way we treat our physical health and seeking counselling is a brave first step towards opening up and examining what is happening in our lives and seeking a way forward. I am at heart what is referred to as a person-centered counsellor which means that I believe the relationship between the client and the counsellor is the key to the counselling being successful. The basis for therapeutic work for me is trust and empathy. I integrate other modes of working into my practice depending on what works for a particular client. I enjoy bringing creativity into the counselling space and find that working in this way can often free the mind and bring focus and clarity. I also work with mindfulness and grounding techniques when appropriate.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a Level 4 Diploma in Counselling.
I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) Membership number 01021789.
As well as running my own private practice I also work as an in-house school counsellor in two primary schools. This is a role I find really rewarding and I am passionate about being able to help children voice their emotions and process their lives through talking, play, creativity and games.
Before training to become a counsellor I worked in the marketing department of a large, global education organisation and latterly directly in schools. I have the personal experience to understand and help with work based stress and office dynamics, as well as with family dynamics and childhood issues.
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.
