Supporting Your Mental Wellbeing at Work and at Home.
I offer 1-1 psychotherapy, consultations to discuss supporting your loved ones, and bespoke wellbeing workshops aimed at businesses to help individuals and teams navigate life’s challenges with clarity and confidence.
Hello,
I’m Nathanya, a qualified and BACP-accredited Psychotherapist, working both privately and in public mental health services. I hold a BA (Hons) in Counselling & Psychotherapy from Middlesex University and a Diploma in Counselling Young People.
Currently, I offer 1-1 psychotherapy to adults and young people, supervision to therapists and other allied professionals, systemic therapeutic support to children and their families, and deliver training sessions and workshops on topics like compassion fatigue, anxiety management, and setting boundaries.
I see clients both online and in person. My in-person sessions are held in London and Reading.
About Nathanya
Approach
My approach is integrative, meaning I draw from a range of therapeutic models to tailor sessions to each individual — but at the core of my practice is psychodynamic therapy. This modality supports deep, meaningful change by helping people bring unconscious thoughts, patterns, and beliefs into conscious awareness. It's often in these hidden spaces that long-standing struggles — anxiety, low self-worth, relational difficulties — quietly live.
My work is grounded in a strong belief: when people are given a safe, non-judgmental space to reflect, they can develop powerful insights that lead to lasting personal transformation.
Experience
Beyond private practice, I’ve provided therapeutic care within private residential settings for children in care, and spent years embedded in both charity and statutory services. I’ve facilitated support groups, designed and delivered mental health training for professionals, and lead wellbeing workshops for organisations seeking to better care for their people. These diverse settings have shaped a flexible, responsive style of practice that honours the unique context each client brings.
I also work as a Primary Mental Health Worker for Brighter Futures for Children. In this role, I support children and families directly, while also offering reflective spaces and training for teachers, social workers, and caregivers. My aim is always to help those on the front lines — whether parents or professionals — feel better equipped to support the mental health of the young people in their care.
Community
Finally, I’m proud to be the cofounder and director of SafeSpace, a community-led mental health initiative for young adults. It’s an expression of my long-standing commitment to expanding access to care and creating supportive, stigma-free environments.
Whether you're seeking personal therapy, or a partner to support your team’s wellbeing — I bring compassion, experience, and a deep respect for the process of change.

Private Therapy Services
-
Modern life is filled with various trials and tribulations, psychotherapy is a tool to help you navigate many challenges and uncertainty in order to live your best possible life.
My goal as your psychotherapist is to help you understand yourself better. I do this by shedding light on things that may be out of your awareness, supporting you in unravelling and making sense of any difficulties and working with you to discover your path to wellness.
Therapy provides you with a confidential witness on your journey of self-discovery.
As we are relational beings, therapy provides us with an opportunity to have a deeper relationship with someone. A relationship that can help replicate deeper ones elsewhere in your life.
Therapy provides you with a space to speak. We should never underestimate the value of being heard and the power of the potential impact that can have on our lives.

Supervision
-
My approach to supervision is integrative with a psychodynamic core. I offer a reflective and relational space where we can think together about clinical material, unconscious processes, relational dynamics, and the therapeutic relationship. I pay particular attention to countertransference, ethical considerations, and how past and present experiences may be shaping the work. Supervision is collaborative, thoughtful, and grounded in curiosity rather than certainty.
-
I currently offer supervision to counsellors and psychotherapists working with adults, including trainees and qualified practitioners. At this stage, my supervision offer is not suitable for therapists who work strictly with children. I aim to work with practitioners who are open to reflection, developing their professional identity, and engaging thoughtfully with the emotional and relational demands of the work.
-
As I am undertaking formal training in clinical supervision, I offer low-cost supervision while in training. Fees reflect this and can be discussed in more detail when we connect. If this feels aligned, please get in touch to discuss your needs further and see whether working together would be a good fit.
Business Workshops

Mental health doesn’t switch off when the workday begins — and increasingly, it’s recognised as key to sustainable performance. These workshops help employees and teams manage stress, build emotional resilience, and improve their experience of work.
Each workshop is interactive and trauma-informed, offering practical tools in a safe, structured environment.
