The Approach
At the core of these practices is the understanding that we begin life imbued with creativity, curiosity, and joy. As we navigate through life, we inevitably encounter moments of difficulty. To protect our sensitive core, we develop armours and sometimes dim parts of ourselves. Over time, these defences can cause the vibrant life force we were born with to stagnate.
In our sessions, we slow down and create a safe space where all aspects of your being are welcomed and explored. Emotions, memories, and parts of you that have been neglected are given space to emerge. Through this approach, we endeavour to restore the natural flow of your life force, enabling you to fully engage with life and relationships in an authentic and fulfilling manner.
Body Based Practices
Upon request, I incorporate body-based practices into our sessions. Our bodies possess an inherent intelligence that often becomes quieter as our thinking minds take over. There are times when talk therapy can be complemented by non-verbal techniques.
These might include breathing exercises to access emotions, movement and somatic tracking to release tension and traumas, and guided meditations to connect with the body and spirit. These options are available both in person and online.
A Little About Nathalie
Growing up by the River Nile in Sudan with ancestral links in the Middle Eastern, Nathalie’s journey has been one of exploration, inquiry and deep listening. Her nomadic path has taken her across continents, where she has immersed herself in a wide range of healing traditions. Drawing from Eastern and Western psychology, mindfulness and somatic practices and the ancestral wisdom of North African and Middle Eastern cultures, she weaves these threads into a practice that helps us reconnect with our unique voice, cultural richness, and embodied sense of self. Her work offers a grounded and culturally attuned approach to healing—one that invites a return to belonging, presence, and wholeness.
With lived experience of moving between worlds, she brings a rare sensitivity to the unspoken—recognizing how family, culture, faith, history, and the lasting impact of crisis, war, and displacement shape our inner lives. She holds space for the ways trauma can be carried not only personally, but collectively and across generations. This cultural fluency allows her to offer therapy and trainings that resonate more deeply with those of us who have felt unseen, misrepresented, or silenced in traditional therapeutic spaces.
