Natasa Karankevic | Trainee Integrative Counsellor & Coach

Natasa Karankevic:

Trainee Integrative Counsellor & Coach (BACP student member)

Hello, my name is Natasa, and I’m a trainee integrative counsellor currently working towards a Master’s degree in Integrative Counselling and Coaching at the University of East London. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Counselling Skills Diploma from The Minster Centre, one of the UK’s most respected counselling and psychotherapy training organisations.

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work in accordance with their ethical framework.

I see my role as a counsellor as one of companion and collaborator – walking alongside you as we make sense of your experiences together. I aim to create a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can freely explore your thoughts, feelings, and challenges.

This is your time and space to focus on yourself, and my commitment is to support you with warmth, curiosity, and respect.

Each of us has a unique story shaped by our experiences, relationships, and the challenges we encounter. These may include anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, loss, life transitions, or a general sense of disconnection. Such experiences can leave us feeling overwhelmed or stuck, prompting us to question who we are and how to move forward.

I believe that within each person lies the capacity for healing and growth. My role is to help you tap into your own inner resources and strengths, enabling you to face challenges with greater clarity, resilience, and self-awareness. Together, we will work towards building awareness, making sense of difficult emotions, and finding new ways of living that feel more aligned with who you truly are.

My professional background as a Personal Trainer and Exercise Referral Specialist has deepened my understanding of the mind-body connection and the importance of a holistic approach to well-being. This experience shapes my counselling work, helping me to see each client as a whole person — mind, body, and emotions.

As an integrative practitioner, my approach combines person-centred, psychodynamic, CBT, and coaching methods, allowing therapy to be flexible and responsive to your individual needs. I offer sessions both in person and online, and I can work in English, Russian, or Lithuanian. I hope that you leave our sessions feeling heard, valued, and empowered to move towards greater balance and fulfilment in your life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Should I Seek Therapy?

Many people, new to this type of help, believe that they need to be suffering from “mental illness” or serious “psychological problems”, or be in crisis in order for therapy and counselling to be appropriate for them. This is a common misconception; anyone can benefit from therapy when it comes to helping you deal with your personal feelings and problems, make positive changes in your life, and understand yourself better.

So what is therapy and counselling? If you’re new to this world then the first steps can sometimes be the most difficult. Therapy can be a very effective treatment for a whole range of personal problems covering areas from physical and emotional problems, different types of behavioural disorders, through to human sexuality issues and a host of wellbeing and complementary therapy techniques.

Any problem you have that is causing you concern, anxiety or distress is a valid and appropriate reason to reach out and find a therapist and talk to them about it. Far from something to be ashamed of, acknowledging your vulnerability and asking for help is a sign of maturity and strength.

If you feel that you have a desire and are committed to making changes in your life in order to overcome your current problems and achieve more long-term satisfaction, psychological wellbeing and personal fulfilment, then you are ready to seek therapy. We are here to help you work through a wide range of therapy issues that might be troubling you.

Will Information About Me Be Safe & Secure?

It is quite normal to be hesitant when it comes to sharing private and intimate information about yourself with a stranger. You may fear that you will receive judgment from your therapist, or that your therapist will share your details with others.

HQ Therapy Rooms takes your privacy and confidentiality very seriously. Our therapists are required to keep everything said in therapy sessions between you, just like your doctor is required to keep your records private.

For therapy to be effective, there must be unconditional trust built between you and your therapist, and this relies on a shared understanding of confidentiality. It applies to the outside world as well: it is standard practice for therapists not to acknowledge their clients if they run into them outside of the therapy rooms in order to help protect their client’s confidentiality. Read our full privacy policy for more information.

Can I Contact You For Advice About Getting Therapy?

Talking about your thoughts and feelings with a supportive therapist can often make you feel better and help you face your problems. It feels good to be listened to and to know that someone cares about you and wants to help. It is important that you find a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and can build a trusting relationship to help you make positive changes in your life.

But how do you know what type of therapy is right for you? Taking the first steps in finding the right therapist can be the biggest hurdle for newcomers, so we have made it easy.
