Natalie Sumner

I work remotely with any individual over the age of 18 in the UK. I offer a safe and confidential space to explore whatever is causing you concern. I believe the way forwards can be found within you – I can help you to look.

I work generically however have a special interest in:

*drug and alcohol addiction and recovery

*rape and sexual assault

*anxiety and worry

*I am an LGBTQIA + affirmative therapist (I do not engage with any form of conversion therapy and I oppose conversion practices)

I have worked for the past 15 years in the drug and alcohol field as both a counsellor and a recovery co-ordinator.  In addition to my counselling training and experience I have 4 years experience working as a crisis worker in a sexual assault referral centre and 7 years as a mental health inclusion worker.

I am a person-centred therapist at my core with additional training in cognitive behavioural therapy. I initially qualified in 2009. I am trained to post graduate level and am a registered member of the BACP. My approach is anti-oppressive and trauma informed and I can work with you in the shorter or longer term depending upon need.

I work online or via phone and can offer a short or longer-term commitment to you. I can also offer one off sessions for clients with whom I have already worked and who may need to ‘touch base’ every now and then.

Working with the right person is a crucial component to successful therapy and I offer a free initial 20 minute phone call for us to mutually explore if we want to begin sessions together.

*A safe outlet to explore and vent
