Losing the path

It's easy to lose ourselves and our meaning when our minds get wound up in fear, anxiety and panic, Each path we find looks more treacherous. WHO claims that anxiety has jumped a massive 25% since covid hit. In the UK 1 in 7 people describe their mental health as poor with many left waiting for months for NHS help. Fear has become their new normal.

My name is Nathelie. I'm a panic and anxiety specialist and your guide to finding a firmer mental health footing.

Come and have a look around...

Meet Nathelie

I am an accredited CBT Hypnotherapist and have a level 5 diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (UK College of Hypnosis & Hypnotherapy.) My specialisation is treating panic and anxiety which is why I also work on a helpline for a national panic and anxiety charity. Anxiety and panic are triggered by wide ranging concerns, such as, money, health, work, relationships, people, animals, religion, performance, authority, death or being alone. It can even seem to have no specific cause.Anxiety can manifest as low self-esteem, confusion, intrusive thoughts, overwhelm, anger, perfectionism, depression, pointlessness, procrastination and even existential terror. Anxiety can cause us to fall into unhelpful cycles of compulsive behaviour, such as smoking, drinking or hair pulling or engage in conflict. I enable clients to navigate all these paths. Acceptance and commitment therapy is also a large part of my practice. My wisdom comes from a 40-year meditation and mindfulness practice and my my non-dual philosophy.

I have particular experience working with individuals facing high-level coercive abuse and fear surrounding contact child arrangements (including supervision.) I am currently training with Tavistock Relationship in London and I look forward to qualifying as a psychodynamic couple psychotherapist and introducing these skills to my practice. I am an accredited GC Index coach and help couples reframe their value within the family unit, providing them with a universal language to better relate.

I have run a coaching boutique in the city for 20 years that continues to provide motivation/performance tools, support with career transitions, bullying at work and job anxiety well as related mental health support. Early in my career I worked as a litigator in City law firms, where I saw the damage the carnage inflexible mindsets bring. I became adept at analysing core issues, introducing flexibility and mediating collaborative solutions.

My Approach

My approach to therapy favours evidenced-based techniques as these provide the most consistent and effective treatment outcomes. Hypnosis enables clients enter the very deepest state of relaxation and harnesses the imagination to conjure more creative solutions. Behavioural therapy resets maladaptive automatic patterning whilst cognitive therapy uncovers unhelpful safety behaviours, reframes negative cognition and empowers the resilient self. I integrate other techniques, on a case by case basis, favouring Gestalt tools, different breathwork modalities, imagery based recall and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I introduce cognitive defusion training into each treatment as this engenders long-term resilience and self efficacy.

My Navigation

Storytelling is an impactful tool to empower the imagination and used by Milton Erickson, one our most renowned hypnotherapists, to take clients deeper into the experience. I often use storytelling to introduce colour and sensory depth to sessions and workshops, encouraging clients to play with ideas, think outside the box and find more creative solutions. This is a particularly potent tool for clients who struggle to visualise.

My Philosophy

'The MindFull Practice'™ is my therapeutic philosophy. It starts with the question, 'what can your mind see?' As, what you see (or think you see) is what you fill your mind up with. Every thought you focus your attention on shapes the next thought and behaviour. This is why feeling anxious creates more anxiety. When you look through the window of your mind what do you see? A mind full of frantic thoughts, perhaps? Would you like to see joyful possibilities that take you towards a future that reflects who you are and want to be? It is your choice. Whatever you choose, your mind will create. I help you uncover deeply embedded fears and use your imagination to empower your future.
