Nataleigh Strasburg

We all go through difficult times, and life can often feel overwhelming. Weekly therapy provides a safe and confidential space to look together at the struggles you are facing. You may be seeking help at a point of crisis, feeling lost and hopeless or with a particular concern you wish to explore more deeply. I will be alongside you through the process of uncovering what is troubling you and support the ongoing discovery of the unique person you are.

My approach is holistic and relational to help you foster a deeper understanding of yourself as the expert in your own life. My therapy philosophy draws upon various approaches suited to the individual life circumstances and perspectives each client brings. Alongside talking therapy, this may include creative methods such as breathwork, guided meditation, visualisation or drawing. These exercises can often help shift things if you are feeling stuck.

Therapy is a collaborative process of compassionate inquiry to explore and understand personal experiences. I provide a caring and non-judgemental presence as we build a co-created therapeutic relationship that facilitates awareness and growth. Ultimately this can help you become more aligned with your true nature and what gives you purpose and meaning. I am passionate about supporting my clients in developing inner guidance and resources to carry with you throughout life.
