Somatic, holistic and trauma informed, my private practice primarily encourages people to align with their true nature and embody the gifts they carry, so that they may live as powerful, healing influences in their communities.

Traditional cultures understand that we need guides in order to successfully traverse the many paths we encounter within a life, that it can’t be done alone.

With twenty years experience in transformational healing arts, I have guided hundreds of people on the path of self-realisation; those who have set out to find their true selves, to evolve and change. My offer is to stand ‘shoulder to shoulder’ with you, champion, challenge, and support you in the serious commitment to you own individuation, healing and transformation.

Whiles this work can be healing, liberating and empowering, it can also prove challenging to the identities and fantasies we have gathered along the way. This work requires an investment of time and money but more importantly it requires your commitment and energy.

My ‘super power’ is connection; connecting with people, understanding them and helping them grow. This is where I have focused my time, energy and skills throughout my adult life.

My approach draws on Gene Gendlin’s focusing method, Integrative Life Coaching, my own Buddhist background and training in deep nature connection together with somatic approaches that respect the intelligence of the body. See below for an overview of the modalities I draw upon.

I prefer the title mentor or companion to coach or therapist. I work online via Skype or Zoom, and in person where possible.

  • Natasha is an exceptional coach and facilitator and I’d highly recommend her services to both individuals and corporates. She models leadership that is both honest and kind, authentic and empowering of others. She offers much needed skills and experiences in outdoor experiences of nature that encourage people to live sustainably. Natasha is superb!

    - Alex Lenoel - Executive Search and Talent Management

    After my first mentoring session with Natasha I already felt a huge weight lift off my shoulders and enthusiasm flood back into life. Natasha used therapeutic exercises and mindful approaches from her vast toolbox of professional and personal experience and combined them with active listening, connection with internal and external natures and a kind curious heart. I felt challenged and nurtured in equal measure and able to sit with grief in a way I haven’t be able to before.

    A friend recommended Natasha to me when I was in a very dark place. After a couple of months of working with Natasha I was already free of anxiety attacks which used to exhaust me and keep me up at night. She taught me a variety of techniques that really helped with all the turmoil I was experiencing and I still use these when I encounter difficult feelings. We've gone deeper than where I've been with other therapists. Her style is definitely what I needed. She is authentic, compassionate and knows what she is talking about. If you're ready to do some inner work then you need to go and see Natasha.

    Natasha is a wonderful coach. She is empathetic, very structured and professional. I had been fascinated with coaching for a while and my curiosity led me to speak with a few coaches and try different techniques. I "discovered" Natasha as a co-participant at an experimental group coaching session and was immediately drawn to her. She explains abstract matters in a structured and easily accessible way. Since Natasha has become my personal coach and I also attended her nature retreat in 2020 which was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. I whole heartedly recommend her to anyone seeking truth.

    I sought Natasha out to help me forge a new path in life that was better aligned with my true self, more sustainable and purposeful. Natasha immediately put me at ease. I felt safe and held throughout our time together. She guided and empowered me to find my own way forwards. She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to this work, delivered with open-hearted warmth. She has had a profound effect on my life. I cannot recommend Natasha and her work highly enough. She's a wonderful mentor and guide.

    We live our lives and things come up. And we have choices: ignore, repress, become victims - or assimilate and digest. Through Natasha’s skilful coaching, I’ve found ways to develop a positive responsibility for what emerges from inside: by turns, fascinating, revealing - and ultimately real.

    — Will Cottrell - Chairman Brighton Energy Co-op

    Natasha’s sessions are unique and transformative; we meet outdoors and walk our way to understanding. Experience is embodied and physically felt rather than just talked through and it feels luminous and unfamiliar to feel this lit up and motivated. I immediately experienced a sense of belonging and enlivenment, walking in a beautiful, natural landscape with someone who clearly feels at one with the wild world. It means so much to have this space in which to share experience and Natasha’s lively, perceptive support has helped to clear a way through paths that had grown tangled and difficult to navigate. She is an ally in the wildwood.

    - Ruth Lawrence - Artist

    My regular sessions with Natasha are a space to be true to myself. It’s not always obvious how to be honest to what’s going on inside, but Natasha has an intuitive sense of where to lead, and a watchful compassion as to when things are too fast, or too charged.

    Natasha brings a light touch and embodied wisdom to the serious work of transformation.

    - Sidonie East - International Development Student

    This was a re-discovery of myself and of my primary urges. What unfolded for the duration was a deep acceptance and embrace of who I want to be and what keeps the fire inside of me alive. Many friends found me changed but could not say exactly how, except for noticing a different light or radiance in me.If I look back over the last year I cannot believe how much I’ve accomplished of what I’d always dreamed but I’d always put aside. Natasha has a gentle yet powerful way of working with a person - I cannot recommend working her highly enough.

    - Giulia Menichelli - Playwriter

    Natasha showed me how to acknowledge and turn towards the feelings of ‘the young one within me’ with warmth, encouragement and presence. I learnt to be present and build relationship with my neglected self. With Natasha’s guidance my most intimate relationships are flourishing.

    Doing this weekly work has become an anchor in a mentalised world where emotions are blown around like chaff in the wind. Natasha’s creative sense of inquiry and supported delving are a very human, and perhaps ancient, antidote to a fascination with being up-in-the-head.

    We walked, as sun dropped west and the land grew cold; we talked of elements, of stags, of men and the wildwood, of time alone with the trees. We saw a cloud of corvids flying into bitter citrus light, twelve dozen slate grey shadows calling up the evening. We devoured them as though they were the last birds on earth.I cannot name the thing I love. It flutters on wings of red and black, it shuffles, pad footed among fallen leaves, it calls, full throated across the frosted field. It has a million voices and as many forms. It holds beauty in its wild song and autumn in its fur. A small sun rests in its eye and lights its summit. I breathe it in and out come words, and, gathered in the spaces in between, is love. Natasha’s mentoring sessions are unique and transformative. She is an ally in the wildwood.

How I like to work with clients

  • Trauma Informed Somatic Therapy

    My approach to somatic therapy draws on my background in Gendlin’s Focusing method, Levine’s Somatic Experiencing and Broughton’s IoPT (Identity-orientated Psychotrauma Therapy).

    The main focus is to support clients in developing their capacities for healing, integration, self-regulation & resilience.

  • Embodiment Coaching

    Somatically tracking our own body sensations or ‘felt-sense’ enables the nervous system to show us trapped survival energy felt in the body and its release.

    This body-aware approach enables you to connect with your deeper authentic voice and navigate the world from a place of centredness (your inner compass). This ultimately shows you how to be at home within yourself with natural confidence.

  • Integrative Approaches

    If you don't welcome yourself at your front door no amount of deadbolts will keep the back door secure.

    Sooner or later we will be ‘invited’ to accept, and bring curiosity to those places inside of ourselves that we reject and suppress. When we learn the to skilfully respect and offer presence to all of ourselves this becomes the craft of self-love. This is not some rose-tinted sentimental ideal, this is necessary to become a mature human presence.

To be authentic means to be true to oneself.

It is a very, very dangerous phenomenon, rare people can do that. But whenever people do it, they achieve such beauty, such grace, such contentment that you cannot imagine…

- Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh

Human Growth

There are particular points in your life when something needs to change and you have the feeling that you want to evolve into the next chapter. An identity shift, if you will. These shifts are as natural as life itself. Whether from childhood to adulthood, or singledom to marriage, or marriage to divorce we all know something of these passages.

There are also more nuanced passages but no less important; times when it might seem like the hardest thing in the world is to be ourselves.

When we ask, Who am I? Really? Aside from what family and society and conventions tell me. And how do I get to that place of self knowledge and conviction where I are able to state without doubt, fear or anger, ‘This is who I am, this is what I stand for, this is how I intend to live my life’?

These are all death and rebirth moments within a life; when we die to what is no-longer so that we can open to what is new. Natures cycles of death and rebirth are inherent to all life, human and more-than-human.

My passion is to share ways in which we can live in harmony with these cycles, and to support people in navigating the different seasons of their lives.

RELATIONSHIP COACHING & MEDIATION

RELATIONAL INTELLIGENCE

Combining Therapeutic Coaching and Mediation for Relationships

Often people struggle when it comes to bridging what happens within their coaching or therapeutic sessions into the relationships they have, either at home or in the work place.

As a husband and wife team, Ulrich Schoisswohl and I are combining our skills and experience to offer you a process weaving together both therapeutic coaching and mediation.

When you speak from the heart,
when you speak as one
who has been touched by life,
you speak not only
to the face I show to the world
and the self I wish to be,
but to the rebels and outcasts in me;
to the tender longing
and the quiet yearning
that has yet to be expressed;
to the love of what is unfinished,
what is still forming,
and what is forever left behind.

- Nick Leforce
