Hi, I’m Natalia and I am a fully accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist with over 10 years experience of working with a variety of client difficulties in both the NHS and private settings. I hold a degree in Psychology, a Masters in Person-Centred Counselling and a Post-Graduate Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
I have worked as a Counsellor for over 15 years and a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist for over 10 years, having been Supervisor and Team Leader within the NHS. I have also been a lecturer for over 5 years University of East Anglia teaching Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to trainee’s and helping to get them to be the best practitioners they can be for their clients and have written an article and book chapter aimed at helping people to become their own therapists.
Some of my experience so far includes working in the following settings;
- East Grinstead Hospital, a world renowned centre for specialist reconstructive treatments for those injured or disfigured through trauma including military injuries, burns, road traffic accidents and disease such as head and neck cancers.
- Specialist Eating Disorder community service and in private services including an eating disorder hospital setting treating Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia and Binge Eating Disorder.
- NHS and private services treating many common issues such as depression, anxiety- both general worries and specific anxiety relating to social situations, health and panic attacks, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Low self-esteem.
Having trained and worked in many settings and roles I have gained valuable insight into what works for clients and appreciate how rewarding it is to see individuals gain understanding themselves into their difficulties and be able to work towards their goals. I want to offer people the best support I can and am committed to undertaking additional training and use supervision and self-reflection on my practice to do this.
If you would like to talk about how we can work together to gain insight and make positive changes to your wellbeing please get in touch.
