Natasha Groves

I am available for evening appointments between 5-8pm Monday to Friday.

I can offer weekend sessions at an additional fee.

I offer student rates of £40 per session.

Discount available for block booking.

I provide a person-centred approach, remotely, where we will work together to meet your needs. We will establish a way of working that suits us both, utilizing the skills I have acquired. My passion is to explore where thoughts and behaviours evolved from and finding effective ways to either change or manage these with coping techniques. 

Short and long-term options are available, as if the problem is quite specific then this may require 6-12 sessions. However if you would like to work in a more open way to explore a variety of issues both in the past or present, then there may not be a particular time frame on the number of sessions needed.

I have been trained in Person Centred Theory, Cognitive Behavioural Therapies and Psychodynamic therapy. I also have accessed substance misuse training, Sexual Violence, Trauma and NHS ACT training. I have a psychology degree and a masters in counselling, where I completed a dissertation examining relational depth and delivery of counselling. I am trained in mindfulness, and this can be integrated into therapy in a variety of ways, and I can provide resources for you to access.

I also have a background working with children, working in both a primary school and high school previously as a Teaching Assistant, and now I work as a Pastoral Manager/Safeguarding Officer.

In the first session I will introduce myself to you and explain my background and how I work. I try to make this as comfortable and smooth flowing as possible as I understand the first counselling session may seem overwhelming, but I try to reduce these worries.  I work in a very transparent way, and I like to remind clients how we are a team and I am here to support you throughout this journey. I am open to working in a variety of ways, due to having an extensive training history, and I believe there is no one correct way of working. Humans are all individual and unique, which is what makes us so special, therefore tailoring therapy to each individual is very important in my practice.
