If you’re reading this, it’s likely that you are not in a good place. Maybe slightly off the track, struggling to make sense of your thoughts and feelings, or perhaps completely overwhelmed. You may need support, guidance, or just an empathetic other who can give you their undivided attention in a safe place where you don’t need to censor yourself. I have an MSc in psychodynamic psychotherapy and counselling, and I have also trained in and offer MBT and EMDR. I work at the NHS both as an adult psychotherapist at a complex trauma unit, and as a perinatal psychotherapist working with vulnerable parents and their infants and toddlers.

I offer assessment and short and long-term psychotherapy for individuals and couples with a wide range of emotional and support needs.
We can all benefit from creating spaces of reflection and connection in our lives. Psychotherapy can be useful not only in helping people in severe psychological distress, but also in facilitating self-discovery, insight and growth, particularly during times of difficulty, change and transition. Greater curiosity about one’s self and increased self-awareness can help to bring recognition to, and shift, unhelpful patterns of behaviour. This insight can also increase the capacity to cope with challenging situations; contribute to building more meaningful relationships; & create space for a rich, meaningful and balanced life.

I believe a good personal connection is of vital importance, and hence offer our initial session for free. With so many years in the field I'll almost certainly have experience with whatever you bring, and I'll listen fully and without judgement. Clients often say it's a huge relief to finally share, as the root of so much pain lies in an awful sense of isolation and shame, a feeling of 'What's wrong with me?' We find ourselves nursing a raw wound yet dread being seen as needy or vulnerable. It’s hard reaching out for help, but we consult professionals in all other areas so why not here where it actually matters the most.

Rate £60 for individual sessions or 80£ for couples if done online.
Many women and gender-diverse people come to therapy carrying the weight of codependent patterns—prioritising others’ needs and emotions over their own, struggling to set boundaries, and feeling responsible for how others feel. These deeply ingrained patterns, shaped by social conditioning and life experiences, can leave us feeling stuck, unseen, and drained. As a dedicated integrative therapist, I’m passionate about supporting women to break free from these cycles, rebuild their confidence, and create healthier, more balanced relationships. Together, we’ll create space to unlearn harmful habits, reconnect with your authentic self.

Do you need somebody to help you understand and manage the challenges in your life in confidence? My approach is existential, which does not judge emotional suffering but looks instead at how you uniquely experience the world. I will help you explore your lived experience in terms of your relationships; your emotional well-being; and your values, choices and sense of purpose. You may come at a time of distress with a particular difficulty, or you may have reached a stage when you want to deepen your understanding of yourself. I offer a safe and supportive space where you can begin to make sense of whatever is troubling you.

I also have additional training and understanding of working with couples who are experiencing relationship difficulties and anyone who is struggling with loss and grief.
I am good at listening and understanding your perspective. Although my approach is influenced by psychodynamic theory and the importance of being able to mentalize, I will tailor it to suit your needs. My consulting room is a safe and confidential place for us to explore and think about the things you may never have been able to say before.

Clients often describe me as approachable and easy to talk to. I aim to create an environment where you feel comfortable enough to express your authentic self, without fear of criticism or misunderstanding. Whether you are facing anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, or a sense of being “stuck,” I offer a gentle, non-judgmental presence and practical guidance to help you explore new perspectives and possibilities. Humility is at the heart of my practice. I see counselling not as a position of authority, but as a collaborative process in which your experiences, values, and goals take centre stage.

I work with individuals and couples.
Taking the first step into therapy is not always easy. Life can be challenging and stressful events or emotional difficulties can feel overwhelming and confusing. It is not always possible to manage everything alone. A therapeutic relationship can be a powerful starting point. It offers a supportive space to explore who we are, understand the roots of our struggles, and reflect on our relationship with ourselves, others, and the environments we live in. I believe every person is unique, and therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process. It is a space for exploration and a collaborative journey of self-discovery and transformation.

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 informed within her practice by a relational trauma informed approach, this is a relational framework where the therapeutic process focuses on thinking together with the respective family members at how past relationships and experiences can be enacted in current relationships culminating in unhelpful and conflictual disconnected communication.

Marriage Counselling Counsellors
How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.

How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.

Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.

Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
