I currently have availability in person and online on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 9am and 3pm. 

I work in person from Kenilworth, Southam and Stratford-upon-Avon.

Feeling stuck? Ready for change?

Does each morning feel like a battle to go to work, to put on a happy face, when you want to stay at home in bed or on the sofa because everything feels too much? Is socialising draining and overwhelming, rather than fun and something to look forward to?

Maybe the laundry is piling up and you can’t find the energy to do it. You want to look after yourself more, but caring about things like what to have for dinner feels too much.

Questioning: Why am I like this? Why can't I just...?

Take a second to imagine mornings without battling with yourself to face the day and without faking smiles with everyone you know. Imagine feeling less anxious and more like yourself again. It might feel out of reach right now, but together we can figure out how to get you there.

Change can feel scary because even when we feel like things could be better, we worry about how they could feel worse. We can work together on what those worries are and how change can feel more comfortable for you. 

My aim as your counsellor is to give you space to slow down and reflect so you can have a chance to tell your story in your own time. I won't rush or pressurise you into talking about things or making changes. I'm there to be an unbiased person in your life because sometimes friends and family feel too close to a situation. I will empathise and listen, but I will also challenge you if I think there might be something more we need to explore. 

Some of the results that previous clients have experienced are that they don't dread going to work, and they feel more open with their line managers to talk through what they're finding difficult in the workplace to try to find solutions. They also feel better outside of work; they start looking after themselves and find time to do the things that bring them joy.

Now is the time to find out how counselling could help you.

I offer a free 15-minute introductory call to see if we might be a good fit, with no obligation to book in for a first session.

Hesitating about therapy?

Counselling might feel scary and daunting, but it should be the safest and you focused conversation you've ever had. The people who I work with often haven't experienced a space where they can just be themselves and talk about their feelings and wants.

Counselling is somewhere you can say all the things you've been scared to say without being judged.

It can feel strange at first, but talking openly is the first step in being able to figure out why they're stressed, anxious, or depressed (or maybe all three) and how to move forward.

An introductory call helps many people feel more comfortable about counselling; they can hear my voice and see how they feel when talking to me, as well as ask any questions about the process. I offer a free 15-minute call to talk through the counselling process and how it might help you with what you're going through. 

Click 'book intro call' to get started.

In our first session I like to explore what your aims are and to find out more about you, your life and what you feel like are the most important things for me to know. 

In the next sessions, we will start moving deeper into how you feel, what hurdles you face, how things could be different and how we can help you reach those things. This might mean exploring your past, for example what school was like or how your parents processed emotions, or we might stay with what's happening in the present and how you'd like the future to be. 

This is all done at your pace, if you're not ready to talk something through then it's ok to say no, not today, or not yet; we can talk around the edges, or change direction. 

I currently have availability in person and online on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 9am and 5pm.

The reason you're here...

You're looking for change. Things have gone on long enough and you want to feel differently.

You've decided that you want more for yourself, or maybe this search started as wanting to be a better partner or friend, and not bring the same story or difficulties to them so it's time to get things sorted.

The things that are on your mind might have been around a while, or maybe they're new but they just won't go away. 

Maybe they're keeping you up at night? Struggling to sleep as they go round and round, decisions you could/should have made? All those what ifs and maybes? Are they impacting your decision making as doubt and imposter syndrome kicks in, waiting for you to be caught out?

​All of this resulting in stress, anxiety and your self-esteem and self-compassion taking a kicking as you become more lost and unsure who you really are anymore.

​Maybe, you're feeling a bit scared of change because what if you make the wrong decisions? Making things worse by opening boxes that won't stay closed again? What if you don't click with a counsellor and then have to start the process all over again?​

I can't make promises about if I'm the right person, how change is going to happen for you or when, and maybe the boxes won't close back up right away. But what if I am the right person? What if change feels good and leads to a happier, less anxious version of yourself? Or the boxes won't close because they're now ready to be let go of?

Now's the time to find out, I offer a free 15 minute consultation to see if we might be a good fit with no obligation to book in for any further sessions.

My name is Natalie and I'm a counsellor in South Warwickshire but I also work online for anyone further afield. I work with people who have lost confidence in themselves and feeling stuck with how to move forward. I help clients by providing somewhere that they can reflect and talk through the things they're scared to voice out loud. 

Counselling can feel daunting and scary but with the right counsellor it can be a supportive process and someone who will meet you where you are at the moment with no expectations. If you think I might be the right person to go on this journey with please call, text or email me with any questions and to arrange a call. 

In our first session I like to explore what your aims are and to find out about you, your life and what you feel like are the most important things for me to know. The next sessions, we will start moving deeper into how you feel, what hurdles you face, how things could be different and what you can do to make it a reality. This might mean exploring your past, for example what school was like or how your parents handled emotions, or it may that we stay with what's happening in the present and how you'd like the future to be. This is done at your pace, if you're not ready to talk something through then it's ok to say no, not today, or not yet; we can talk around the edges, or change direction. Through our work together, you’ll learn to be more reflective, confident in yourself and your feelings and feel able to move forward.
