Dr Natasha Sutherland:
HCPC-registered & Chartered Counselling Psychologist (BPS)
Hello, I’m Natasha Sutherland, a Counselling Psychologist with over 16 years’ experience helping adults, young people, and couples overcome a wide range of difficulties.
My Approach:
Given your situation, personality and history are all uniquely yours, you need a therapy approach that’s tailored to you. Still, every client comes to their first therapy session for a similar reason.
You’re struggling, it hurts, and change feels so essential and yet so difficult. You’ve tried making things better, but nothing has worked or, if it has, only briefly.
You’re fed up with feeling this way, don’t like how you react, don’t want to be battling the world, or other people, or your own mind anymore. You’re out of ideas and want help finding another way.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and people often feel apprehensive, but the right support can be life-changing. I offer a free 20-minute telephone consultation as an opportunity to discuss what you’re looking for, ask any questions you may have, and get a sense for whether working together feels like the right fit.
In sessions, I aim to create a warm, welcoming space where you can feel safe to be yourself and confident that you’re being listened to without judgement. Building a trusting, supportive therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my work and forms the foundation for exploring patterns that may be keeping you stuck, clarifying what matters most to you, and finding practical ways to support meaningful change in your life.
My doctoral training in psychology allows me to truly tailor my approach to each client and the concerns they bring. I see therapy as a collaborative process that we shape together, making for a unique relationship and a unique piece of work. In adapting my style to what suits you best, I can draw on a number of different theories and techniques.
I am trained and experienced in cognitive-behavioural, psychodynamic, existential, humanistic, and systemic approaches, with a particular interest in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT).
Training and experience:
I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology at University College London (UCL), followed by a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychotherapy at Regent’s University, and a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology at City, University of London. This led to HCPC registration and Chartered Membership of the British Psychological Society (CPsychol). I have also had further specialist training in a range of approaches, including Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), CFT, ACT, CBT enhanced for eating disorders (CBT-E) and Maudsley Anorexia Nervosa Treatment for Adults (MANTRA).
I have worked within one of the UK’s largest NHS eating disorder services since 2020 and was appointed as a Senior Psychologist in 2022. I have extensive experience supporting adults and young people with eating disorders and complex presentations, and I work collaboratively with professionals across disciplines to provide holistic, joined-up care.

For self-funding clients, I offer either per-session payment or monthly retrospective billing, and I’m always happy to discuss options.
My standard fee is £160 per session.
