Following a long-held interest in the world of therapy, Natascha first trained as an adult Psychodynamic Counsellor at the Westminster Pastoral Foundation.

Through her work and particularly the voluntary work she undertook in schools and charities, Natascha witnessed an increasing need of specialist support for our younger generation, and wanting to broaden her knowledge and skills went on to train at the Northern Guild as a Psychotherapist, graduating with a specialism in children and young people.

Natascha’s training followed the principles and values of the Humanistic Integrative approach, integrating the principles, values and theories of a number of approaches, including Transactional Analysis and the Psychodynamic, Person-Centred, Trauma informed and Creative approaches.

She believes that integration is at the core of the work she does, both in the way she aims to support and encourage her clients to explore themselves, their thoughts, feelings and behaviours and to think about how their past may be informing their present, so that they might integrate all parts of themselves in the here and now, and through the models she draws on to facilitate this.

Working relationally, putting the relationship between client and therapist at the heart of the work and treating her clients as individuals is at the core of how Natascha works. Providing a confidential, warm, empathic and non-judgemental space whilst being able to draw on models, theories and approaches specific to the clients’ issues allows her to offer a bespoke service and work with her clients to meet their individual needs, encourage realising their own answers to their problems and support facilitation of their desired outcomes.

Natascha has experience working face to face, online and on the telephone, with clients from 4 to 90, both short and long-term with a wide range of presenting issues in both the Public (schools and the NHS) and Voluntary (Charities) sectors as well as in Private Practice. She holds an Enhanced DBS.
