About Natalie 〰️
I'm Natalie. I am a psychotherapist qualifying in 2013 and working in the field of mental health since 2008. Alongside my private practice, I am a senior perinatal psychotherapist within the NHS.
As both a therapist and a parent, I understand first-hand the emotional complexities that come with pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood. My own journey informs my deep empathy and respect for mums I am supporting.
After my daughter was born in 2018, I became particularly interested in supporting parents from pregnancy into parenthood. My personal experience of pregnancy did not meet the expectations I had hoped for and becoming a parent was harder than I had ever imagined. I lost my sense of identity and struggled to adapt to the role of 'mum'. Learning to adapt, accept, and be more compassionate towards myself have been some of the key learnings on my parenting journey.
While specialising in perinatal mental health and the lived experience of early parenting, I support mums in finding steadiness, self-compassion, and connection through all stages of parenthood.
“I am passionate about supporting mums on their parenting journey and providing mums with a safe and compassionate space to feel heard, valued, and understood is essential to the therapy that I offer.”
Qualifications & experience
Undergraduate degree in Counselling Studies with Psychology (2005 - 2008).
Background in integrative counselling.
Postgraduate Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (2013). BABCP number 100275
EMDR Training (2017)
I have worked in the NHS for over 17 years, namely in Talking Therapy Services.
How I Work
Together, we'll explore what's on your mind - whether its anxiety, depression, overwhelm, identity shifts, trauma, or simply the need to not feel so alone. My work with clients is collaborative. I'll bring tools, reflections, and gentle guidance - but you're the expert on your own experience. Over time, I can support you to notice more clarity, gain more capacity to cope, and create a deeper sense of connection with yourself and those around you.
A fundamental element of therapy I offer is to explore the development of the difficulties you are experiencing, and understand where unhelpful patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviours have derived from. Where relevant, we will gently explore a timeline and consider your own experience of childhood and being parented, and how this may be affecting your difficulties at present.
Specialist Areas
Perinatal Trauma (including birth trauma).
Low self-esteem.
Loss of identity in parenthood.
Fees
Online - £85.00 per hour
In person - £90.00 per hour
I offer a free 15-30 minute no-obligation chat either by phone of video call to give us the opportunity to briefly talk through your difficulties and what you hope therapy will provide.
It will provide a space for you to ask any questions you may have in order to make a decision about whether the therapy I offer meets your needs.
