Hello!

I am Natalie, and as a therapist, I am passionate about supporting children and young people to fully thrive, no matter what life has thrown at them. I am invested in supporting families to flourish & develop strong attachments and I am excited to journey alongside individuals as they begin to discover their true and authentic self, physically, emotionally, sexually and psychologically.

As a Barnardo’s Link therapist, I am registered with Ofsted to work with children and young people who are affected by adoption. I am also trained to work with all individuals within the Adoption Triangle- birth parents, adoptive parents and adoptees, as well as supporting those involved in fostering and special guardianship orders.

As a secondary school therapist, I have experience in working with young people who are struggling with range of emotional issues including anxiety, depression, school refusing, friendship worries, trauma, bereavement & loss and relationship & family difficulties. I have experience in working with international students who board within a UK boarding school.

I am fun, warm, empathic and honest and offer a safe, non-judgemental & confidential environment.

I would encourage you to call or email me if you have any questions about counselling and the way in which I can support you. 

During our first session, we will go through the Counselling contract, which I will email to you in advance. Once we have discussed the contract, the rest of the session will be used to talk about what's brought you to counselling and how you would like to use our time together. I find it helpful to talk about your support network, your life experiences and how your daily life is being impacted by the issues that you are facing.

At the end of our initial meeting, we can decide together whether I am the right counsellor for you.
