The most important thing first: No matter what place you’re in - there is hope for change and for things to get better. You may be reading this feeling vulnerable, disempowered, dejected, fearing disappointment or simply too overwhelmed to know how you feel. I'll meet you wherever you are and with whatever you bring and we can walk through your confusion and distress together. I've had the privilege of working with a diverse range of people with an equally diverse range of individual challenges. Spending time exploring your challenges can bring clarity, empower you to break with old patterns and help you find a positive way forward.

Our bodies are very good at storing our feelings. But sometimes, this means our emotions can get stuck leading our nervous systems to freeze or shut down. This can look like feeling ‘numb’, hopeless or depressed. For other people, they may feel at the mercy of their emotions, often unintentionally reacting and feeling out of control. Other people may have learnt handy ways of managing emotions by focusing on the needs of others, trying to look after the people around them. More recently, this has been recognised as a 'fawn' response - a way of coping in moments of possible threat or danger.

I provide face-to-face, walk and talk (depending on location) and online sessions. I offer a compassionate and warm space where you can share without fear of judgement. Maybe you've gotten to a point in your life where what worked for you before is no longer working. Or maybe you can no longer sense or intuit what works. Therapy can be a valuable starting point, offering a chance to revisit and untangle the complicated aspects of your life that you may have tried to suppress. It's a safe space to reconnect with yourself.

Sometimes as adults it's difficult to put our feelings into words. This is the same for children and young people, often they do not have the vocabulary to talk about what is going on for them. For children and adolescents play and creative arts therapy can be one of the most powerful ways to explore their difficulties and understand them, often allowing them to alter their perspective and adapt to the difficulties they are facing. As a parent you may know something isn't quite right for your child, in sessions I offer creative opportunities for your child to make sense of their feelings and become happier individuals.

Hi I’m Diana. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. Are you struggling and feel as if no one ‘gets’ it? Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed or just lost.

I mostly work with clients who have been adversely affected by abuse, trauma, and relationship difficulties. I have extended this to work with couples and relationships. I work by tuning into each client’s individual circumstances and listen to how their life experiences have impacted them. I can offer some solutions, such as coping mechanisms for managing trauma responses such as anxiety and depression. I also offer help in developing practical skills in managing narcissistic behaviour, such as carefully considered boundary setting, recognising that boundaries often come with negative consequences.

Hello and a warm welcome. I am interested to hear what brings you to counselling. I will offer you a safe space to share your story and to feel listen to. A space where you feel able to say how it is and you feel understood without being judged. I will be genuine and together we can explore your experiences in our sessions.

Hi, my name is Natasha and I am an Intuitive Counsellor.
Intuitive counselling delves deep into understanding the difference between our conditioned mind and our intuitive self. The more we practice being present, the more we listen to our intuition, observing how our mind gets cluttered by past or future thoughts. When we live in the present, we become less controlled by our thoughts; we start seeing those unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. This is a practice like any other as it is about re-training our behavioral patterns, creating that space of connection within ourselves, and learning to listen and trust our intuition.
