Natalie Allen

Please contact me to discuss availability and arrange a suitable appointment time.

I am a BACP registered Integrative counsellor.

Starting therapy can be quite daunting, and I offer a safe and non-judgmental space - somewhere where you can pause and reflect and where together, we can explore the issues that have brought you to counselling.

I provide a therapeutic environment where, within our relationship, you feel heard, understood, and supported as you explore the challenges in your life.

I work integratively, with the core of my practice based on a person-centred approach. This means we work at your pace, and you decide the content of our sessions, as I recognise that you are the expert on yourself. I also integrate a psychodynamic approach, exploring patterns and relationships to help you understand your past and, in turn, your present. This can support your journey toward growth and resolution.

I have worked with a wide range of clients. My experience includes working with people with a range of difficulties and issues at a Women's Centre, receiving extensive training relating to domestic abuse. This includes training with the Into The Light Charity which supports survivors of child sexual abuse. I also have experience working at a hospice, supporting people with their experience of grief.

I work with individual adults, offering both short-term and long-term support.

I offer face to face counselling from my practice in Sutton, providing a quiet, private, reflective space. There is free, easily accessible street parking available.

I also offer online sessions.

Before our first session, I offer a free short call lasting roughly 20 minutes to discuss what has led you to seek therapy and what you want to work on. We will also complete a short assessment form and I will take down a few of your details. This call provides you with the opportunity to get a feel for me and a feel for our therapeutic “fit”, allowing you to make an informed decision in regard to us working together.

In our first session we will look at your expectations and what you want to achieve in more detail, building an important foundation for our work together. Your first session, like all your sessions will be about having your time and space to explore what you want to bring.
