As a therapist and former palliative-trained GP, I support people through grief, chronic illness and pain, cancer diagnosis, ageing, dementia, caring and life transitions.
My role is to accompany you in a space that is yours. We share expertise: yours of your own life, mine of training and experience. I listen, may reframe and may challenge perspectives, believing always that you can find your own answers. At times words may be hard to find and I may offer creative options such as sand tray, drawing or writing in addition.

I specialise in parental and carers mental health and wellbeing. Our own experience of been parented and growing up underpins and influences our confidence, identity, relationships and communication with our families and loved ones. The origins of many mental health challenges are often rooted in our early life experience. I work collaboratively and compassionately, providing space to help you unpack, reflect and understand yourself to help you recover and move forward with your life. Therapy is as much about recognising our strengths and resilience as it is about meeting our needs and caring and nurturing ourselves.

I work with people experiencing grief, endings, and change. Losing someone you love or the end of a relationship can feel unbearable, as if life will never be the same. You may feel lost, overwhelmed, or stuck in sadness. My role is to provide a safe, compassionate space where your feelings can be expressed and understood. Grief doesn’t follow rules or timelines, but as emotions are processed, many people find the weight gradually eases and they begin to reconnect with life in new ways.

If anxiety, self-doubt or a constant sense of unease has become part of your everyday life, it can feel as though you're always on edge. You might find yourself trying hard to keep others happy, putting your own needs last or listening to an inner voice that is rarely kind. Perhaps difficult past experiences still affect you in ways that don't fully make sense. Some situations might leave you feeling unexpectedly overwhelmed or out of control. Over time, all of this can leave you feeling disconnected; from others, and from your sense of yourself. If this resonates with you then you're in the right place.

Many people come to therapy with a sense that something doesn’t feel quite right. You might feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unhappy in parts of your life, whether that’s in your relationships, your work, or within yourself, without always knowing why. I offer a warm, non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, supported, and understood. Together, we can explore at your own pace what’s been weighing on you, whether that’s anxiety, low mood, difficulties with self-esteem, identity, relationships, painful past experiences that still feel present or wider reflections about life that may feel confusing, demotivating or upsetting.

People come to psychotherapy and counselling for many different reasons. Perhaps it is a time of crisis or difficulty when feelings have become overwhelming and difficult to share with people that you might normally. It could be that this is linked to a desire to gain a deeper self-understanding. Simply talking to the right therapist for you can provide relief. I have a wide experience of working with different conditions and situations, in particular depression, anxiety, anger and relationship issues. I work with an emphasis on facilitating your enquiry in a safe and effective way, within a supportive relationship.

In life we can often encounter difficult times that might feel unbearable; even a real sense of struggle in getting through them. The loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, an illness, a traumatic experience, a struggle in our own sense of identity and self-esteem, plus many more life changing experiences. These are all changes that can deeply impact our lives, and are reasons for which deciding to seek counselling support is a very courageous choice to make. Often the process in seeking a counsellor can be a really overwhelming experience, as talking about our own feelings and emotions can be distressing and painful.

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.

FAQ - About Geriatric Therapy
What can a geriatric psychologist help with?
Geriatric therapists specialise in the cognitive and neurological challenges that often accompany aging, including dementia, memory loss, and age-related cognitive decline. They also address the psychological conditions that frequently co-occur with these issues, such as depression, anxiety, and grief. Geriatric therapists and psychologists are trained to assess cognitive functioning, identify symptoms that may warrant further evaluation, and conduct or refer for formal neurological assessment when needed. In many cases, geriatric therapists also work closely with medical doctors to manage a client's overall health, and they may support caregivers and family members navigating the demands of caring for an aging loved one.

Why might someone seek a geriatric psychologist?
Someone might seek a geriatric therapist when they or a loved one begins experiencing cognitive or neurological changes and is unsure whether those changes are a normal part of aging or something that requires clinical attention. A geriatric therapist can help connect families with appropriate next steps. They are also commonly sought following a new diagnosis, when clients and families are working to understand what that diagnosis means practically and emotionally, and what to expect as a condition progresses. When seeking a therapist, it can be helpful to consider whether a clinician with a stronger psychotherapy focus or one with more of a social work orientation, who can help connect clients with assisted living or medical resources, would be the better fit.

What type of therapy might a geriatric therapists specialise in?
Geriatric therapist often combine psychotherapy with psychoeducation, helping clients and their families understand cognitive and neurological conditions and what to expect as they progress. For clients experiencing anxiety or depression alongside cognitive decline, therapists may draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) or mindfulness-based approaches. For clients with dementia specifically, therapists may be trained in specialised modalities such as Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST), which is designed to preserve cognitive functioning.

Can geriatric psychologists help people who suffer from dementia?
Yes, and this is a core area of geriatric psychology. Therapists specialising in dementia can work directly with clients on memory loss and cognitive functioning, while also addressing conditions that commonly co-occur, such as depression and anxiety. They can provide caregivers with objective assessments of a client's functioning and disease progression, and are typically well-versed in community resources available to dementia patients and their families.
