Welcome
Supporting Your Well-Being
By Working Together
Who I AM
The Practitioner
Hello, I am Natalie. I work with clients experiencing difficulties relating to trauma (PTSD/cPTSD), anxiety, depression, workplace stress, grief and loss and more. This includes clients with autism spectrum, attention-deficit/hyperactivity, specific learning and intellectual development disorders. I also provide professional supervison and have an interest in rural and remote psychological practice.
As a sole practitioner I can guarantee a personalised service with priority given to my current and returning clients.
A little bit about me: I live in the Tamar Valley on a small farm breeding Wiltipoll sheep and would like to explore growing micro-greens. I have a partner, children and grandchildren who are just awesome.
Treatment Focus
As an Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) accredited practitioner, I use this as the primary intervention and incorporate other evidence based therapies as required. With a strong focus on symptom reduction, we will work together to put the past in the past, address the current, to move into the future confident of your ability to meet the challenges of life.
For more information on EMDR please click on the button below and scroll down the page. The videos explain EMDR nicely and I will explain in more detail in person.
What To Expect
Once I receive your form I will contact you to schedule our first appointment together.
You don't have to worry about what to tell me because it is my job to help you feel comfortable and find out what brought you to seek help. I will ask you all sorts of questions from your strengths, goals, family, big events... we might even do a few activities to see how easily your body and mind can relax.
At the end of our first appointment I will propose a treatment plan and from there you can decide if you would like to proceed.
The aim is that you have short bursts of weekly or fortnightly sessions and then have a break allowing you time to consolidate the changes that have occurred. The number and frequency of sessions will vary from person to person but we will have a clearer understanding once we get started.
Online Appointments
For those wanting something other than in-person appointments, video-conferencing is available. You will require a quiet, private, comfortable space and access to the internet on a laptop or tablet. Phones are not recommended due to their small size. Please note that I do not provide telephone sessions as it is essential that I can see you.
