Ethos

The ethos of Dr Natalie’s psychology practice is rooted in compassion, respect, and genuine human connection.

People come to therapy looking for different things, and there's no single "right" way to engage in the process. Some clients prefer short-term, targeted work focused on developing practical strategies and solutions to a specific difficulty. Others are looking for a safe, weekly space where they can slow down, explore life's challenges, and reflect with compassion and curiosity, without the pressure of arriving at quick answers. Whatever brings you to therapy, Dr Natalie will work collaboratively with you to shape an approach that fits your needs, pace, and goals.

She offers inclusive, affirming, and culturally responsive therapy for people of all ages, genders, sexual identities and neurotypes. Her aim is to foster a collaborative and non-judgemental environment where clients can explore challenges, build resilience, and move towards meaningful and authentic lives, whilst enhancing psychological wellbeing.

What Clients Say

  • "Always shows up with consistency, care and calm"

    I worked with Natalie for a couple of years - From the very beginning, she created a space where I felt genuinely seen and understood. She supported me through some incredibly difficult moments, even offering extra sessions when things felt overwhelming. She showed up with consistency, care, and a kind of steady calm that made it possible for me to breathe again. What I appreciate most is the way she thinks with you rather than for you. She challenges you gently, reframes things in ways that suddenly make sense, and somehow guides you toward your own clarity.

  • "Gained confidence in public speaking"

    I had a series of sessions with Natalie to address situational panic attacks, OCD and public speaking anxiety. Natalie was incredibly patient, kind and understanding while creating a comfortable and safe environment where I had the space to talk, reflect and challenge my behaviours and thought patterns. I've since gained more confidence in presenting and public speaking and have built stronger strategies to deal with intrusive OCD thoughts and patterns.

  • “Recovery from my eating disorder”

    Natalie was instrumental in helping me kick start a long but extremely worthwhile journey to recovery from my 25-year-long binge eating disorder. Natalie provided the right balance of validating my feelings and experiences, and challenging unhelpful patterns of behaviour. This has been critical to my recovery.

  • "Helped our son's anxiety and gave him confidence"

    Natalie's approach to our son's anxiety was done with professionalism along with an understanding, caring empathetic approach to his situation. Natalie was able to connect with our son, build trust and rapport instantly and give him the tools to cope better for life. We are so proud of how far he's come and he has been able to complete all his exams and is looking forward to starting college. Whilst he'll always have anxiety, he is able to cope with everyday life with confidence. Highly recommend!

  • "A safe space for me to be authentic and vulnerable"

    Dr Natalie Kanakam has created a safe space for me to be authentic and vulnerable during a challenging time in my life. This has allowed me to show more compassion towards myself and others. I highly recommend working with Natalie due to her skill, knowledge and capacity for understanding.

  • "I felt a real difference following my sessions"

    Natalie was a brilliant help and her sessions were always thoughtful and compassionate. She listened with empathy and kindness, while offering thoughts and tools that were helpful in addressing the issues I wanted to address. I felt a real difference following my sessions with Natalie and am grateful for the support she has provided.
