Hi, I'm Natnalin and I'm a counsellor based in North London. I work with clients who are going through major life challenges, such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, or transitions and are looking for guidance and support to navigate these challenges effectively. I also work with clients from expat and multicultural backgrounds who are dealing with familial issues, self-identity and self-esteem issues and who appreciate a counsellor who can understand the complexities of multicultural identities.

People usually come to therapy because there is something they want to change. I offer a warm and friendly talking space where we can explore and identify what this is, using cognitive behaviour therapy ultimately to help you feel better. CBT is a talking therapy which helps people to understand more about how the way we think about ourselves, other people and the world, impacts on our feelings and actions. It is very practical and has lots of tools, techniques and ways of thinking about things. This can really help you to feel better, see things differently and make changes.

Do I Need Therapy? When someone asks themselves this question, it is generally because we’ve reached a point when our existing coping methods are not enabling us to deal with a problem situation. It is then that we seek help to understand why our familiar ways appear to be failing us. Recognising that it is not always easy to navigate through life, and that we can all sometimes benefit from a gentle, listening ear. Life can present with challenges and crises which are difficult to face alone or even with friends and family, or we just need a different perspective on a familiar problem in order to change the way we think or feel.

Female Counsellors

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
