Holistic Therapy
Hello, I work with individuals, couples and families from pregnancy throughout all stages of life, including those who are dealing with loss, grief or trauma experiences which may have shaped their sense of self and attachment. Many wish to explore the impact of their growing awareness of neurodiversity on their identity. Others are interested in tuning into the different ways their bodies could be saying 'no' to certain situations or experiences, and how any disconnect between mind and body may be showing up in terms of relationships or mental health. My role is to offer guidance in developing practical ways of navigating these discoveries in the context of cultural, gender-related or other diversity challenges by focusing on strengths rather than deficits.
​
​My areas of experience include:​
-
Adolescent mental health
-
Women's physical and emotional wellbeing
-
Perinatal mental health & birth trauma de-briefing
-
Relationship counselling, family therapy & parent/carer support
-
​Neurodiversity challenges and neuro-affirming approaches
-
Cultural identity, intergenerational issues & racism trauma
-
LGBTQIA experiences, including affirmation journeys
What is a holistic approach to therapy?
I follow an integrative approach which utilises polyvagal practices in bringing awareness to the mind-body connection, calming the nervous system and releasing embodied stress and trauma. The use of somatic techniques can help to promote healing and emotional attunement during adolescence, relationship transitions and other periods of significant change, particularly those experienced by women throughout various life stages. Please get in touch with Natalie to find out more.
