Nathalie Ostrowski

My practice hours are in the afternoons to make therapy more accessible. I also offer day time appointments on Fridays and Saturday mornings. 

Hello, I am Nathalie, welcome to my profile. I understand taking the first steps to reach out for therapy are difficult. Please let me help you by offering a free in person or virtual consultation to explore your needs.

I help clients with a variety of difficulties including:

anxiety, depression, seasonal affective disorder, self-harm, burnout, grief and loss experiences, meaninglessness, trauma, illness and relationship difficulties.

How integrative therapy can help

I will provide you with a safe space to explore your difficulties at your pace. You may wish to address experiences from your past, trauma and current struggles. Through my client work and studies I have learnt how central the therapeutic relationship is to effect change. I will meet you with empathy and warmth to help you explore your meaning. I use different therapeutic approaches to tailor counselling to your unique needs.

My Qualifications and Experience

I have worked in NHS and council community mental health services, psychotherapy centres and for charities. I have an MSc in therapeutic counselling from the University of Greenwich. I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy adhering to their ethical guidelines. I offer integrative therapy informed by psychodynamic, attachment-based, gestalt and existential psychotherapy.

In addition to my private work, I offer mental health training and reflective practice to school staff in Brighton and Hove. I recently participated in the Anna Freud National Autism Trainer Program deepening my knowledge on working with neurodivergent clients. 

In addition to my clinical work I am on a doctoral program in existential psychotherapy. 

Struggling can feel isolating- you may feel no one understands what you are going through. I am here to accompany you on your journey and will try to understand what life has been like for you without assumptions. I strongly believe you do not have to suffer in silence.

In our first session we will explore what brought you to therapy. We will discuss how long you wish to have counselling for, your goals and expectations. I can meet you in person in my therapy rooms in Brighton or Hove. Alternatively, we can meet virtually.

I can work flexibly on a short-term or long-term basis. I currently offer afternoon, evening and Saturday slots to make therapy more accessible.
