Natalia (She/Her) Counsellor, Psychotherapist MBACP

I am a Black, British, Cisgender Woman, of African Caribbean heritage and I identify as both Lesbian and Queer. I feel it is important to name some of the aspects of my identity to position myself for you, as you consider working with me. My work is inclusive and affirmative of the intersecting identities of human beings. You maybe exploring your identity, navigating LGBTQIA+ issues, been affected by bias, discrimination, trauma, dealing with loss, life transitions, questioning your relationships, self worth, purpose or life direction. Whatever the issue or theme, I offer a safe, non judgemental and validating space, where you can express and process thoughts and feelings, begin healing from any hurt or harmful experiences and ultimately feel a greater sense of peace and ease in your life.

I work in a person-centred, integrative and relational way. This means that, I am able to use and combine several psychotherapy techniques that meet your unique and individual needs. My intention is to form a trusting and mutually respectful therapeutic relationship with you, one that empowers and enables you to safely explore, navigate and move forward in your life in a way that feels right for you.
