About Natalija

Helping people discover who they are — and what's possible.

Feeling stuck is often a sign that something within us is calling for change.

I'm a psychoanalytic and CBT psychotherapist with over a decade of clinical experience across the NHS, the voluntary sector and private practice. At the heart of my work is a commitment to helping people understand themselves more fully — so they can live in a way that feels aligned, empowered and authentic.

I offer a tailored approach, drawing on psychoanalytic therapy, CBT, relational and existential therapy, informed by current research in trauma, attachment and neuroscience.

I know how overwhelming it can feel to make sense of the different therapies out there, especially when you're already in distress. Part of my role in our first session is to help clarify that — and to find the path that genuinely meets your needs.

Trained at The Tavistock NHS and AGIP · MSc Psychology · Registered with BABCP & NCFED · Sessions available in English, Latvian and Russian.

The Approach

Therapy isn't one-size-fits-all.

1

Assessment

We begin with a thorough first session to understand what you're going through and what you hope for.

2

A tailored plan

Together we agree the most helpful direction — drawing on the approaches that fit you, not a fixed method.

3

The work

Compassionate, evidence-based sessions that gently revise the patterns keeping you emotionally stuck.

4

Integration

Towards greater self-esteem, deeper relationships, and a more resilient, settled sense of self.

How I Help

Support across a broad range of emotional and psychological challenges.

Online Sessions

A calm, confidential place to think and be heard.

Appointments are currently held online by private video, so you can meet from a quiet space that feels comfortable and secure.

Availability depends on your location and whether online work is clinically suitable. This is discussed before ongoing therapy begins.

"In some ways suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment it finds a meaning."
— Viktor Frankl
Sessions & Fees

Clear, straightforward arrangements.

Sessions typically last 50 minutes, with flexibility for longer sessions where helpful. Whether you're navigating a crisis, long-standing pain, or simply seeking insight, you'll find a compassionate and attuned space.

Common Questions

It's natural to have questions before starting.

Is everything I say confidential?

Sessions are confidential, subject to limited legal, ethical and safeguarding exceptions. These limits are explained clearly before therapy begins, so you know where you stand.

What happens in the first session?

The first session is a relaxed, unhurried conversation about what brings you to therapy and what you'd like to change. It's also a chance to ask questions and see whether it feels like the right fit. There's no commitment beyond that first meeting.

How long does therapy take?

It varies with what you're working on. Some people find focused, short-term work of a few months is enough; others value longer-term, deeper work. We review this together regularly, and the pace is always yours.

Can I have sessions online?

Yes. Appointments are currently offered online, with the same care and confidentiality. Availability depends on your location and whether online work is clinically suitable.

Do you accept health insurance?

The practice is recognised by several major insurers, but cover depends on your provider, policy and location. Please confirm reimbursement directly with your insurer before booking. Self-funding clients are welcome.

Can I have therapy in a language other than English?

Yes — sessions are available in English, Latvian and Russian.
