Grounded Care. Lasting Clarity.

About Natalie

I like to believe that I can offer a space where you will feel accepted and free to work at your own pace.

I know that coming to Counselling can seem daunting but I like to consider myself to be a very approachable person.

​Whether it’s career, relationships, health, or anything else important to us, counselling can help to effectively deal with the challenges and emotional moments we encounter in life.

​A talking therapy that enables you to explore in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment your feelings, emotions and problems. A space where you can gain insight into how your past experiences have influenced your present life.

​By acquiring more understanding and awareness, you can hopefully start to make changes and improve your life.

​Counselling is team work, a journey that we take together.

I have two therapy rooms. One is in Newport and the other is a cabin in a small local village . All pictures on my website are of the actual therapy rooms I use As you can see, I aim to offer a cosy safe non-clinical space

"For me, being a therapist is a calling.

I am passionate about what I do."

I offer short term and long term therapy to individuals and couples.

Being a counsellor means that I have worked with people experiencing a broad variety of situations in their daily lives. I am professionally trained in providing both short and long term therapy.

​I have developed an eclectic approach and integrative way of working. Which means I use a variety of methodologies and philosophies in clinical practice to bring about a more holistic approach which I think makes the process of therapy more accessible, beneficial and successful.

I like to think of it as a collaborative journey in self awareness and of being in the moment. It is the art of noticing what is present physically, emotionally, cognitively, without judgement, with a curiosity to learn from noticing established patterns in behaviour. This can lead to a new understanding of oneself and positive change if desired.

​I also offer Counselling & Supervision to trainee, newly qualified and experienced counsellors.
