Natalia has a background in working with people who are struggling

with various complex issues, often concurrently. This is particularly

relevant for those of us who are impacted by type 1 diabetes. Nat is

passionate about helping people to recognise and understand the roots

of their distress, gain a deeper understanding of themselves, and make

long-lasting changes in their lives that extend beyond immediate

symptom relief.

Wanting to make some positive behaviour changes, but finding it

difficult to stay motivated? Nat fosters a compassionate, collaborative,

client-centred approach to support clients to be active and equal

participants in their treatment goals.

Clinical approaches of interest include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

(CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational

interviewing (MI), Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) and

stress reduction (MBSR), attachment-based approaches, and Polyvagal

Therapy (PVT) to address various physiological stress responses,

interpersonal issues, and emotional self-regulation difficulties. Working

collaboratively with clients to build resilience and promote mental

well-being in a wide range of situations, including building skills that

foster increased self-awareness, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Nat is flexible in her approach, and will work in ways that help

you find constructive, positive ways to deal with the challenges of

living with type 1.
