Bringing Unity Back to the community

This is what I encourage my client to do.
Look after yourself and appreciate who you are and what you have got through.
Treat yourself sometimes. ❤️

You deserve to show up as the strongest version of yourself.

Taking care of your body and your appearance is not vanity.

It is choosing to show up for yourself before the world asks anything of you.

When you feel good, you move differently. You speak differently. You live differently.

And celebrity stylist and confidence expert Erin Walsh is on this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast so show you show.

Erin will help you reconnect with the version of you who knows she deserves to feel her best.

Hi, I’m Natalie — a counsellor and hypnotherapist.

If you’re thinking about reaching out but wondering *“can this actually help me?”* — you’re not alone in feeling that way.

A lot of people come to me worried that their problem might sound “stupid” or “weird”… but I promise you, it isn’t. Whatever you’re feeling has a reason, even if it doesn’t make sense right now.

You don’t need to have it all figured out before you start — just being open to talking is enough.

If you’re feeling stuck, anxious, or just not quite yourself, I’m here to listen.

Hi, I’m Natalie — counsellor and hypnotherapist.

When people first contact me, one of the biggest questions they have is:
*“Can you actually help me with this?”*

And often, I can sense a bit more behind that question…
Maybe feeling a little alone.
Maybe unsure.
Sometimes even a bit embarrassed.

I very often hear:
*“You’ll probably think this is stupid or weird, but…”*

And I always say the same thing —
I won’t think it’s stupid. I won’t think it’s weird.

Because you don’t know what I’ve heard before… and more importantly, there’s no such thing as “stupid” or “weird” in the counselling room. It might *feel* that way to you, but that doesn’t make it true.

What’s really important is *your experience*.

Often, once we start talking, things begin to make more sense.
Sometimes we gently explore where certain thoughts, feelings, or behaviours might come from — and quite often, there are links to earlier experiences or childhood.

And when those connections start to appear, the things that once felt “silly” or confusing suddenly feel… understandable.

Of course, not everything comes from childhood.
Sometimes it’s a life event — something big, unexpected, or overwhelming — that shifts everything and leaves you feeling stuck or anxious.

Does any of this sound familiar?

Have you ever wondered why you feel the way you do?
Or why that nagging anxiety just won’t leave you alone?

You don’t have to figure it all out by yourself.

Why not try talking? Just one session, to see how it feels for you.

Dark chocolate is a medicine.
I ❤️ this, I’ll be taking my medicine everyday. It’s the heart medicine.
It has to be 75% or over, I have 100% in my fridge, which I’m trying to get through but will stick to 75% after that. 😁

Hi, I’m Natalie — a counsellor and hypnotherapist based in Benfleet.

If you’re thinking about reaching out for support but feeling a bit scared… that’s completely normal. Honestly, most people feel that way. I did too — even just *thinking* about having counselling felt daunting at first.

Asking for help can feel like a big step, especially when you’re not even sure what you need help *with*. But it’s also one of the most courageous things you can do.

So let me gently put your mind at rest…

I’m just a normal person who went through a really difficult time a few years ago. That experience led me to have counselling — and it changed me. Not in a dramatic, overnight way, but in a steady, supportive, “you’re not alone anymore” kind of way.

There was a time when I felt completely lost.
Alone, even though I had people around me.
Sometimes numb… and other times overwhelmed with emotion.
Trapped, like there was no way forward — or no energy to even look for one.

And that kind of loneliness can be the hardest, can’t it?
When everyone else seems to be getting on with life, and your version of “normal” just doesn’t exist anymore.

Counselling helped me find my way through that.

It helped me understand myself, adjust to a new version of life, and realise that I *was* okay — even if it didn’t feel like it at the time.

I won’t pretend I became the exact same person I was before, because I didn’t. I had to grow, adapt, and rebuild in some ways… and that was hard.

But I didn’t do it alone.

And now, I do this work because I want to offer that same support to others.

A space where you can be yourself, without pressure or judgement.
A space where we can gently figure things out together, at your pace.

You don’t have to have it all worked out before you reach out.
You just have to take that first step 🤍

The book I've been reading at the moment is *The Body Keeps the Score* by Bessel van der Kolk. And I just wanted to share a few things that I often share with clients in my therapy room.

One of the key ideas is this: sometimes your reactions don’t fully make sense *because they’re not just coming from your thoughts — they’re coming from your body too.*

So if you’ve ever found yourself thinking:
*“Why do I react like this?”*
*“Why can’t I just get over it?”*
*“Why does this feel so big?”*

Please know — there’s nothing “wrong” with you.

Your body might be holding onto past experiences, even if you can’t fully explain them. Things like feeling on edge, shutting down, overreacting, or going numb… these can all be your nervous system trying to protect you, even if it doesn’t feel helpful now. I often say to clients that even if you have no memories of an event, often your body remembers, and you just have to listen to it.

In our work together, this is why we don’t just focus on talking things through.

We also gently pay attention to things like:
• how your body feels in certain moments
• when you feel tense, restless, or disconnected
• what helps you feel even a tiny bit safer or calmer

Because healing isn’t just about understanding what happened — it’s also about helping your body realise that you’re safe *now.*

And that takes time, patience, and a lot of self-compassion.

So if things feel confusing or overwhelming at times, you’re not alone in that. Your responses make sense, even if they don’t feel logical.

We’ll go at your pace, and we’ll figure it out together. 🤍

If you feel counselling or hypnotherapy could help you then contact me (Natalie) through my website or email. I'll give you a quick ring first, just so you can get to know me, ask questions and I can explain how I will help you.
