About me
Meet Natasha
Hi, I’m Natasha — a cognitive-behavioural hypnotherapist.
I’m someone who tends to listen carefully, think things through, and take people seriously. I’m interested in how our inner worlds work, particularly when thoughts feel repetitive, confusing, or harder to manage than we’d like.
People who meet me often notice that I’m calm, attentive, and direct in a gentle way. I value clarity and understanding over quick solutions or dramatic techniques.
My aim is to offer a space that feels steady and respectful — somewhere you can slow things down, think more clearly, and explore what’s going on without pressure or judgement.
My style
In sessions, I aim to offer a clear and steady way of working, so you can begin to understand why certain thoughts, feelings, or responses keep showing up. We don’t just talk things through for the sake of it — we look at what’s happening and gently work with it, using practical tools that can make a real difference over time.
My style is collaborative and thoughtful. There’s no pressure to analyse everything in depth, no expectation that you need to “fix” yourself, and no requirement to arrive with things neatly worked out.
You’re welcome to bring whatever feels present — even if it’s unclear or messy. We take things at a pace that feels manageable, experimenting carefully with new ways of responding and noticing together what genuinely helps.
If it feels helpful, we can begin with a free 20-minute initial chat to briefly discuss what's been going on for you and whether this approach sounds like it might be a helpful fit.
How I came to this work
My route into this work developed gradually, shaped by both psychology training and real-life experience.
With a background in psychology, I’ve always been interested in how people think, interpret their experiences, and respond under pressure. Over time, what stood out wasn’t diagnosis or labels, but how easily capable, thoughtful people can become stuck in the same patterns of worry, overthinking, or self-doubt — especially when life feels demanding.
Earlier in my career, working in school settings with neurodivergent children reinforced how much context, expectations, and environment shape how people cope, and how important it is that support is flexible, respectful, and led by the individual.
Alongside this, experiencing periods of anxiety and everyday stress myself made it clear that reassurance or advice alone often isn’t enough. Understanding what’s happening and learning how to respond differently — matters.
Cognitive-behavioural hypnotherapy brought these strands together. It offered an evidence-based, practical way of working with attention, thinking patterns, and responses, without force or pressure — and that’s the framework I work from today.
