I believe that no one knows your life, your experiences, or what matters to you better than you do. Yet at different points in our lives, many of us can find ourselves feeling stuck, overwhelmed, lost, numb, unsure of who we are, or struggling to cope with grief and change. We might notice ourselves reacting in ways we don't understand or repeating patterns we'd rather leave behind. We may carry shame about the past, blame ourselves for what happened, or feel angry towards others and find it difficult to move forward and enjoy the present.

Hello, my name is Nataliya.

I am a counsellor, wife, stepmum, daughter, sister, and proud auntie. I'm also a friend, neighbour and, like you, a human being doing my best to navigate life's ups and downs.

I believe we all have an inner world that can sometimes feel confusing. Our thoughts, emotions, relationships, life experiences, and even the ways we have learned to protect ourselves can influence how we move through the world. In the same way as we are made of different organs physically, psychologically we have different parts. Sometimes these parts fight with each other and don't live in harmony. At times, we may feel pulled in different directions. One part of us might long for change, while another feels frightened of it. This can leave us feeling torn and exhausted.

Sometimes we keep our struggles to ourselves because we don't want to burden the people around us. Sometimes we're not sure who to trust, or we worry that nobody will truly understand. Whatever has brought you here, you don't have to face it alone. Sometimes, simply understanding why we think, feel, or react the way we do can help things make more sense and open the door to meaningful change.

How I Work

I recognise that no two people experience difficulties in exactly the same way, which is why I adapt my approach to suit the person sitting in front of me. I offer a warm, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about what's going on for you. Together, we'll explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at a pace that feels right for you. I'll listen carefully, help you make sense of what's happening, and gently challenge you when it feels helpful.

I work integratively, tailoring therapy to the individual rather than expecting the individual to fit a particular therapeutic model. Some clients find it helpful to focus on present-day patterns and practical coping strategies, while others wish to understand how past experiences continue to shape their lives today. Often, our work includes both.

I won't tell you what to do or how to live your life. Instead, I'll walk alongside you as you discover what feels right for you. I believe that each of us has the capacity to find our own way forward, even when we can't yet see the path clearly.

Who I work with

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, life transitions, loss, and a range of other emotional challenges.

Whatever you're facing, I would be honoured to support you on your journey.

I look forward to meeting you.

Fee

My fee for a 50-minute appointment is £65. I also offer a small number of reduced-fee spaces, depending on circumstances, and am happy to discuss this with you.

Choosing a counsellor can feel like a big step, so I offer a free 20-minute telephone consultation if you would like an opportunity to ask questions and get a sense of whether working together feels right for you. You can contact me by phone, text message, or email.
