Hi, I am Nathalie, welcome to my profile. I understand taking the first steps to reach out for therapy are difficult. Please let me help you by offering a free in person or virtual consultation to explore your needs. Struggling can feel isolating- you may feel no one understands what you are going through. I am here to accompany you on your journey and will try to understand what life has been like for you without assumptions. I strongly believe you do not have to suffer in silence. I can work flexibly on a short-term or long-term basis. I currently offer afternoon, evening and Saturday slots to make therapy more accessible
I have an MSc in therapeutic counselling practicing integrative relational psychotherapy. I am informed by psychodynamic, gestalt and existential psychotherapy. If we decide to work with each other, I will provide you with a safe space to explore your difficulties at your pace. You may wish to address experiences from your past, trauma and current struggles. Through my client work and studies I have learnt how central the therapeutic relationship is to effect change. I will meet you with empathy and warmth to help you explore your meaning. In our first session we will explore what brought you to therapy. We will discuss how long you wish to have counselling for, your goals and expectations. I can meet you in person in my therapy rooms in Brighton or Hove. Alternatively, we can meet virtually.
I am an integrative therapeutic counsellor and work with adults. I have worked for the NHS, the council and charity sectors offering therapeutic support for many years. In addition to my clinical work I offer mental health training and reflective practice to educational professionals in Brighton and Hove. As well as working with most common mental health difficulties I have a special interest in supporting clients who have experienced loss and are facing life transitions. In addition to my clinical work I am on a doctoral programme in existential psychotherapy.
