Hello,
I’m Natalie (she/her), a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor and psychotherapist based in the North East of England. I have a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychotherapy (Masters Level 7, UKCP accredited) and a Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling (Level 5, BACP accredited).
As a highly trained and experienced psychotherapist, I offer a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your feelings, gain clarity, and work through your challenges. Taking the first step towards therapy can be life-changing. I’m passionate about helping people navigate the complexities of life and supporting them in their journey towards better mental health.
As an integrative therapist, I draw on a variety of theories and approaches that I tailor to each individual’s needs. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, or something extremely complex, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to its ethical framework to ensure a safe and professional therapeutic environment.
How Can Therapy Help You?
Many people seek therapy for a wide range of reasons. You may be experiencing:
- Anxiety & Stress: Persistent worries, tension, and an overwhelming sense of unease.
- Depression & Low Mood: Feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or a lack of interest in life.
- Relationship Issues: Difficulties communicating with a partner, friend, or family member.
- Trauma & Past Experiences: Painful events or memories that are affecting your present life.
- Life Transitions & Uncertainty: Facing big changes or feeling unsure about your direction in life.
- Self-Esteem & Confidence Issues: Struggles with self-worth and feelings of inadequacy.
Through therapy, I help individuals gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their experiences, learn coping strategies, and make meaningful changes in their lives. No matter what you’re facing, you don’t have to go through it alone.
My Approach to Therapy
As an integrative therapist, I believe that each person is unique, and so too should their therapy be. I use a blend of therapeutic approaches tailored to your specific needs, drawing from various methods.
Underpinned by Transactional Analysis (TA) my therapeutic approach that uses TA helps individuals understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, with the goal of fostering positive change. TA is a model of personality and communication that focuses on how people interact with each other (transactions) and how these interactions are shaped by internal psychological states, known as ego states. In TA-based psychotherapy, individuals explore the Parent, Adult, and Child ego states to gain insights into their emotional responses and interpersonal dynamics. In this way, psychotherapy underpinned by TA not only helps individuals improve their mental health but also empowers them to take control of their interactions and relationships.
Therapy is a collaborative process, and I’m here to listen, support, and guide you in whatever way feels right for you.
