Do you need to speak to someone who listens, cares and understands what you are going through? You are not alone. We all have times when we struggle to cope. It can be hard to open up to friends and family when you are going through a hard time. Seeking help from a therapist is not a sign of weakness, but rather a sign of strength. I am here to listen, support, and empower you to make positive changes in your life. Through counselling, you can gain insight, develop coping skills, and work towards a brighter and more fulfilling life.

Hello, I am really pleased you are here, it takes courage to seek change. I'm a State Registered and Accredited Art & EMDR Psychotherapist. I am trained to work with both adults and children; I see people of all ages in my online practice. You don't have to be good at art to do Art Therapy, it's another way of exploring and expressing that helps us view things from a different perspective. EMDR, a specialist trauma technique, blends really well within this work. I work with low self esteem and low mood, trauma (single incidents or complex) as well as issues such as anxiety, phobia and OCD. Therapy times often vary depending on need.

Losing someone close to you can be one of the hardest things you will experience in your life. Leaving you feeling isolated, lost and as if life will never be the same again. I have lots of experience of working with clients who are struggling in their grief to help them come to terms with what has happened, make sense of how they feel and look forward to their future. I have particular experience supporting women and their partners who have had pregnancy related grief/crisis from working within a Plymouth based charity for six years.

Most often, I work with clients who need a safe, confidential space to make sense of different types of relational hurt. In the first instance, I make plenty of time to for us to talk about and establish your goals for therapy, so we're both clear how you'd like things to be, how you’d like to feel and what it is you hope gain from the process. From this point, I see our work as a collaborative exploration in moving towards where you want to be, equipping you with the tools you need to find meaning, purpose and a greater sense of peace and ease in the world.

People have come to see me due to specific issues or challenges in their lives. Others want to work on other areas or growth and many feel unfulfilled and not sure what the future holds. Sometimes experiences from the past or present bring worries for the future creating repetitive, unhelpful thoughts. I believe you have the ability to understand, make changes and control how you choose to live your life. Whatever is brought into a session, we will work together at a pace that you want to understand what is going on.

Are you struggling with a sense of meaninglessness, isolation and hopelessness, leading to feelings of fear and anxiety? Often we seek therapy when we start to become aware of being stuck in the same old patterns but have no idea of why or how to change things. Perhaps you are facing significicant challenges in your life - major life changes like divorce, redundancy, bereavement, illness or loss and you're stuggling to navigate your way through it? Or perhaps you are trying to cope with the effects of past trauma. Life has become unbearable and you're struggling to find a way forward. You want and need something to change?

Hi, my name is Natasha I am an Intuitive Counsellor. I work in guiding and helping you understand your own intuition. When we become aware of our thoughts and behaviors, we start to understand how the mind works. Breathing and grounding into the present moment helps us to connect within, to understand the difference between the voice in our mind and our heart. This allows us to let go of the conditioned mind and find our true authentic self.
