About Me
About Me
Hello, I’m Natalie. I’m a counsellor and have been supporting English-speaking people online in the UK and around the world for four years, including expats in Spain, Portugal and beyond. I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties and addiction, and I have particular experience in helping people recover from narcissistic and intimate partner abuse.
You’re welcome to book a free 30-minute chat on Zoom. We can use it to talk through what has brought you to therapy and decide together whether we’re a good fit.
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming or traumatic. My approach is trauma-informed, which means we go at your pace, I help you feel safe, and I’ll never push you to share more than you’re ready to.
We meet on Zoom. If you prefer, we can also use WhatsApp video or a phone call.
Why should you work with me? I offer a free out of hours service to all my clients as I understand life can become hard outside of sessions so to support you further I am at the end of the phone or laptop away from sessions, (this is by agreement) at a time to suit you, our chats away from sessions are 15 minutes long.
Please note, I’m not an emergency service. If you’re in crisis, call 999, NHS 111 (option 2) or Samaritans on 116 123.

Why work with me?
Specialist in Abuse Recovery
I have specialist training in narcissistic abuse recovery and intimate partner violence, so I understand gaslighting, trauma bonds and the self-doubt they leave behind.
Support Between Sessions
Healing does not only happen in the therapy room. You can arrange short WhatsApp check-ins between sessions, and I often share worksheets tailored to you.
Early Mornings to Evenings
Sessions run seven days a week, from 7am to 8pm UK time (8am to 9pm CET), so you can fit counselling around work, children and everything else in your life.
Talking Therapy and Hypnotherapy
As a counsellor and clinical hypnotherapist, I can combine talking therapy with hypnotherapy and the Rewind Technique when it helps with anxiety, habits or painful memories.
Individuals and Couples
I work with individuals, couples and families, including people affected by infidelity, addiction and sex or porn addiction, in a shame-free, non-judgemental space.
Person-Centred and Integrative
I start from your experience and draw on person-centred counselling, CBT, ACT, Gestalt and somatic, trauma-informed work, shaped around you and always at your pace.
