Natalie Phillips

I am currently working remotely and am very flexible as to hours and days that I can offer. Please contact me for more specific information and to discuss the ways in which I may be able to help you or your family.

I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist who trained at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Clinic combined with the University of East London. I am qualified to work with children, young people and families. I also work with adults in het context of their parenting and family work. I am able to offer small group work and family or systemic work where appropriate.

I work in a psychodynamic way, often exploring relational aspects of life. I am able to integrate CBT and Mindfulness techniques into my therapy and this is often very effective with children and young people. 

I work with schools and support systems where required, to ensure that there is a holistic and comprehensive approach to the work.

My practice is predominantly based in North West London in a clinic in Primrose Hill, however due to the current restrictions on movement, I am working remotely and offering video or telephone sessions. 

I offer short and longer term work dependent upon the needs of individuals. 

The first session with a child or young person will usually follow an initial conversation with the parents or carer. During this first session we will explore the reasons for referral and I will explain a little about how I work. We will talk through the process of therapy and I will assess the readiness of the child or young person for the work to begin. We will then discuss with the parents and start a programme of therapeutic input. 

First sessions for parent or family work will be slightly different and usually set parameters for the work and may be  ore goal or target orientated.

Sessions are regularly reviewed and progress discussed with the child and parent. 

I am a child and family psychotherapist consulting in schools and working in private practice. I am psychodynamically trained at the Tavistock abs Portman and take a very child centred approach.

I am currently working remotely but have a thriving practice in Primrose Hill, North West London. Hours are flexible and include evenings and weekends. 

The first session is often with parents as well as the child and seeks to understand the reasons and timing for the referral. In this session I will explain the way that I work and ensure that the family is ready to engage in therapeutic work.
