Dr. Natasha Thomas

Welcome to My Therapy Practice

As an Integrative and Relational Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor, I've been in continuous practice since 2010, specialising in various facets of therapeutic exploration. My focus includes Inner Child work, Healing from Childhood Abuse and Neglect, Complex PTSD, Recovery from Sexual Trauma, Co-dependency and Narcissistic Injury, as well as working with highly sensitive/intense individuals and those within the realm of neurodiversity. I'm also well-versed in addressing Spiritual Emergency and Transpersonal Crises, Relational Trauma, Dissociative Experiences, and the vital connection between mind and body.

In my practice, I hold the belief that the relationship you cultivate with yourself is of utmost importance. I invite you to guide our journey towards uncovering pain and exploring what truly matters. I'm dedicated to offering a safe and nurturing environment where your concerns can be fully explored. Listening with care is at the heart of what I do, as I strive to create a space where you can open up and delve into your issues on a profound level.

My approach is rooted in a trauma-informed, integrative standpoint that is based on Person-Centred principles. I also incorporate elements of Psychodynamic, Jungian theory, and Eastern spirituality to tailor the therapy to your unique needs. It's important for me to emphasize a feminist and queer affirmative approach as well.

I specialize in working with trauma, abuse, gender and sexuality issues, dissociation, and psychosis. I have a particular passion for Inner Child work, Parts work, Healing from Childhood Abuse and Neglect, Complex PTSD, Recovery from Sexual Trauma, Co-dependency and Narcissistic Injury, Spiritual Emergency and Transpersonal Crises, Relational Trauma, Embodiment, and Body Image concerns.

My interest in the transformative potential of psychotherapy drives my involvement in qualitative research within the field. I explore lived experiences using creative methodologies to understand the growth, changes, and healing that occur through this therapeutic journey.
