Natasha - Autistic Somatic Trauma Therapist
My name is Natasha and I am a late-identified autistic psychotherapeutic counsellor who passionately believes in the power of the healing relationship. My clients say that they feel that I am relatable and bring my personality into the therapy space. I truly feel that it is important to be your authentic self and to develop an authentic connection with my therapy partners.. If you are here and looking at my profile I assume that you are neurodivergent too and are wanting to find a therapist that will get you! Autism is a special interest of mine and I love working with those who are either on their discovery journey or are wanting to unpack their life experiences as an autistic/ADHD or otherwise neurodivergent person. Being neurodivergent within a neurotypical world brings with it a significant amount of distress, adversity and trauma as well as internalised ableism. These are things can we can unpack in our sessions if you feel that I would be a good fit for you!
I am very passionate about the transformative power of therapy and alongside autism my other areas of specific interest are domestic abuse and trauma. I have an array of knowledge and skills in this area, which I love to share with my therapy partners. I am a qualified somatic trauma therapist and this means I work with the body/mind connection, as I feel that trauma is held within the body and that talking therapy alone is not always sufficient in the journey of healing. I feel this is particularly the case when you are neurodivergent. I am trained in a variety of trauma reprocessing techniques such as the Rewind Technique, Flash Technique and Emotional Freedom Techniques. This means that I have a smorgasbord of knowledge and techniques that we can explore to aid you on your healing journey. If you like the sound of what you hear then contact me here or on my website and we can have a free 15 minute consultation to see if I am the right therapist for you.
