I am an integrative psychotherapist who is warm and relational, bringing curiosity and creativity to working with you. I facilitate clients to discover the resources inside them to move through life's struggles. Difficult, painful, or confusing experiences can feel hard to make sense of alone, so having space to explore them in new ways and perspectives can help process and digest what is happening. Whether you are feeling stuck, anxious or restricted in your current situation, I provide a safe space for you to reconnect to your inner capacity to live the life you chose with understanding and vitality.

I believe counselling is a relational, creative, collaborative process.
I know that it takes courage to reach out and find someone to talk to, It's normal to feel uncertain or anxious, the prospect of seeking change can be as difficult and frustrating as the situation you might be in now, be that a period of depression, an experience of anxiety, a creative block, or a personal crisis. I'm Jonathan, a transpersonal counsellor working online and in my consulting room in N15. While I take my work very seriously, I am not the stoic, Freudian type. I counsel using proven, effective methods to provide a gentle, safe, and fun approach to therapy.

Within the relational attachment approach I model a secure attachment style and aim to emotionally attune to the client's needs.
As a therapist I aim to provide a safe none judgemental therapeutic space for individuals, couples or families to reflect on the challenges that they maybe experiencing in their relationships which could be impacting on their emotional well being. Nathalie is aware that often people come to her for help when in crisis and the communication with those we are connected to has become too toxic. Nathalie notes that difficulties in speaking openly with those we are connected to is a common theme within families. Nathalie also has successfully used a relational attachment approach to work with individuals, both adults and young people.

I use a relational centred approach where I see the therapy as a co-created and evolving process which takes place in a confidential and non-judgemental way.
Reasons for seeking counselling may vary and these could include a wide range of psychological or emotional distress as well as the need to explore your life more deeply or reflect on particular life decisions or dilemmas. The way we approach challenges in life and the thoughts, feelings and behaviours that arise from them can sometimes be the source of further suffering which can be experienced as shame, self-criticism, isolation, self-loathing, self-blame and deep emotional suffering.

My aim is to help you identify and explore defence mechanisms that unconsciously crept into your life and create a trusted bond essential to build awareness of the both, self-destructive relational patterns as well as unfulfilled needs.
There are things that you might find yourself struggling with, such as, trying to seek meaning and purpose in life, work problems, relationship difficulties, addiction or mourning the losses and changes that are happening to our planet. You might be feeling adrift in a rapidly changing world, alone, cut off from others or caught in a trap and doing things that you do not find fulfilling anymore. Perhaps you are angry, anxious, depressed or having thoughts of suicide and you are unsure of how to cope with these feelings. Let’s create together a space where mutual understanding and trust is highly valued.

If you are looking to connect in a more meaningful way and want to work through emotional struggles which hamper that, music therapy with a relational-cultural approach which is person-centred, client-led and psychodynamically-informed can be a supportive way of exploring this safely and securely.
I believe in each person’s innate musicality (Trevarthen and Malloch 2000) and recognise each person’s musical and creative core. I believe we are all resilient and resourceful but that many forces in the world, including racism, sexism, colonialism, capitalism, and more, consistently try to disconnect us from our inner power and the power of our collective communities. I believe strongly in the capacity of music in therapy to restore this connection, empowering us to access our authentic musicality and creativity and our buried resilience. I am here to support your healing in the way that feels best for you.
