AXA reg. BACP Accred Counsellor and Family/Systemic Practitioner AFSP Member. Practising since 2000. I offer a talking therapy/creative therapy to children, adults and young people. I also work with couples and families. My approach to counselling is ‘Client-Centred’ having been trained in a number of modalities; Psychodynamic, Person-Centred, Existential, CBT and as a Family Systemic Practitioner. I believe it is firstly the relationship between counsellor and client(s) which provides the foundation to explore, understand, challenge and change patterns of behaviour which are causing relationship difficulties and personal distress.

Are you quietly masking anxiety? You may overthink conversations, replay situations repeatedly, and feel mentally exhausted while still appearing fine to everyone around you. Your mind rarely switches off, constantly scanning for certainty, approval, reassurance, or possible mistakes. You might people-please, put others before yourself, struggle to say no, or avoid conflict just to keep the peace. A fear of rejection can make you highly sensitive to tone, silence, distance, or subtle changes in behaviour. Over time, these patterns can blur boundaries, increase self-doubt, and drain your emotional energy.

You over think every detail, constantly going over events from the past, trying to pre-empt the future. You're exhausted by your own inner monologue, one that never seems to quieten down (unless the music is on really loud!) but you're great at putting one foot in front of the other, getting on with it, not making a fuss. So, what keeps you stuck, drives your patterns? In sessions we can untangle that self-criticism, look at where it may come from so that you can start to make choices based on your needs.

Regardless of our pasts or where we find ourselves now - we all have the potential to change, develop and have personal growth. It’s my innate belief that we ourselves know what is best for us after all, sometimes finding our inner voice isn’t that simple though, especially if we feel it’s lost or seemingly far beyond reach. It can be hard to open up and speak to someone about what’s going on, but whatever your reason for making this first step and seeking therapy, with me as your Counsellor I can offer you a safe space free of judgement in which we can explore what issues arise for you.

On the outside, you look calm and capable. Inside, you are running on empty, quietly carrying burnout, anxiety, and the pressure to hold it all together. You may have spent years adapting, coping, or masking, while privately feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted underneath. I provide a warm, engaged, and collaborative space for adults navigating anxiety, trauma, and repeating relationship patterns. My approach is deeply relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in understanding the nervous system, paying close attention to how stress and past experiences shape both your mind and body.

Some losses don’t look obvious from the outside. A friendship fading, a relationship ending, becoming a carer, moving country, or not becoming the version of yourself you once imagined. Grief isn’t only about death. Sometimes it’s mourning a life, identity, future, or deep connection that mattered profoundly. I recognise that neurodivergent individuals can experience unique forms of grief and loss connected to bereavement, identity, relationships, belonging, overwhelm, and everyday life. Together we can explore your grief and the impact it has on your life.

Healing trauma takes time, and a truly trauma-informed approach. Many of us carry invisible wounds from childhood: the hypervigilance from growing up walking on eggshells, the self-criticism derived from caregivers who couldn't regulate their own emotions, or the deep sense of not being enough despite our achievements. Complex and developmental trauma doesn't always look like what people expect, but it lives in our bodies and shapes how we see ourselves and the world. I'm Shabnum, a trauma specialist who understands these struggles both professionally and personally.

Are you baffled by your relationship with a narcissist? Are you exhausted by the mind games, gaslighting, and deceit? Have your friends grown tired of hearing you talk about the same issues? Don't worry, you're not alone. Narcissistic abuse is real and NOT all therapists get it. Narcs are sly, conniving, and incredibly devious. Until you've experienced their abuse, it's hard to understand. This often leads to victims feeling increasingly isolated, which exacerbates the narcissist's control and creates fertile ground for further abuse. It's no wonder such relationships compromise your sanity.

Hi, I’m Natasha, a qualified and registered psychotherapist. I work with high-functioning individuals who appear capable and successful on the outside, but privately feel disconnected, exhausted, or unsure of who they’re becoming. You might be navigating career shifts, relationships, relocation, cultural or family expectations, burnout, or a quiet sense that something no longer fits. On paper, your life may look “fine” but internally, you feel stretched between who you were raised to be and who you are now becoming.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.

Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
