Hi I'm Natalie,
​
I can help you understand why you are feeling the way you do. Whether you are 10 or 110, we all need to talk. We all carry our past inside. Maybe you are someone that learnt to suppress your feelings, brush yourself down and carry on. Or maybe you're that 10 year old, that just doesn't know how to voice how you feel, so what do you do? You act out how you feel, and that's what get's you into trouble, and I'm not just talking about children here. If we don't let our trapped emotions out, they will come out by other means; illness, anxiety, anger, depression, self-harm, over eating, the list goes on!
​
I understand, I've been there too! 🩷
​

Welcome to
NK Counselling & Hypnotherapy
I learnt long ago that sometimes it's easier to talk to a stranger than someone close to you. You can cry without being told to stop, you can say what you need to say without worrying you will upset someone, you can be honest. Here at NK you can do all this in a comfortable, confidential and non-judgemental space.
About
My name is Natalie Kelly,
I used to be a teacher, and that was all I wanted to do.
However, back in 2002 my life changed dramatically due to suffering baby loss. I realised in that moment that I had no control over life, it controlled me!
​
But the one thing I knew, was that I needed to do something with my experience, and I wanted to help others' that had been through similar. I then realised that I had to help myself first.
​
And that was the start of my own personal counselling journey.
How I can help you.
I work with many different issues, anxiety, depression and self-esteem, being just a few.
I help you to find connections to your past. Your issue may have originated in childhood. If it did, then we go back there. We can also go back subconsciously, with the help of hypnotherapy.
​
After being a teacher for a very long time, I have also worked with autism and ADHD in children, as well as adults. I have an understanding of the social implications and needing to find reasons for behaviours that are a little different to other people. Maybe you are an adult that had a difficult time at school and this may still impact you now. Perhaps you're looking for answers, or you just need a safe space to talk and to understand. This is how I can help you.
​
I also have a special interest in baby loss and bereavement. Due to my own experience, I have a different level of understanding and knowledge of this.
Person Centred Counselling
Whether you're stuck in a particular behaviour that continually repeats itself, or you have a problem that you buried within you many years ago and it's started to surface, person centred counselling will help you discover and explore your issues at your pace. Person Centred is tailored around you. I go where you take me. Although sometimes I may have to guide you a little, to help you make connections.
What happens in your first session?
Before the session, you can book a quick 15 minute phone chat. This is a time where you can ask questions, get to know how I work and really get to know me and if you want to work with me. It's the first step on the 'rapport ladder.'
When you book I ask for your email address so I can send you the contract before the session. This just saves session time.
At the start of the session I will ask you to sign 2 copies of the contract, one for you, one for me. I then ask for a few easy details: DOB, age, address, etc.
​
We then start.
​
You don't have to leap right into the emotional stuff that you've been avoiding for a very long time. You take it at your own pace. You might want to leap right in to your issue.You might recognise a behaviour you want to change and know exactly where it comes from. I may direct you into your past if you mention your past. Or maybe I might ask when a certain behaviour or feeling started for you.
You take it from there.
Testimonials
Clare
“Amazing caring hypnotherapist. Set in a calming room, Natalie made me feel at ease. I went under quickly and am seeing amazing results already after only a couple of sessions. Highly recommend"
Lauren
"Natalie really is an absolute gem to find. She's really helped to encourage me to find myself again. Reliable, calm, friendly, professional, just made me feel so at ease. It's a big step seeking help and she definitely made it easy once I found her."
Sam
“I went to Natalie on multiple occasions for a combination of counselling and hypnotherapy to help overcome underlying issues that I had been experiencing for years. After a handful of sessions I noted significant improvement in areas I struggled with previously. Hypnotherapy was something I was always keen on and it was the most effective therapy/method for improving aspects of emotional/mental wellbeing that I had previously struggled with. I've noted long-lasting benefits from hypnosis sessions and would highly recommend. I will pursue more of this in the future, if and when circumstances present. On top of this, Natalie is a great listener, very approachable, kind and provides a great service.”
Katie
"I could not thank Natalie enough for how much she has helped me over the last year. I believe you have to find the right person for you with counselling, which Natalie absolutely is for me, but I can’t imagine many people she wouldn’t be that for. She creates a calm, comfortable (the chair is 10/10) and incredibly safe space for you to talk openly without judgement, and makes you feel very relaxed in times that may be a little tricky. She is also happy to give advice/book recommendations/meditations etc. in her spare time giving you great tools to work with independently!
I have spoken to a couple of counsellors in my life, but Natalie is by far the best and I always leave feeling better/lighter than when I arrived. I feel so much better since speaking with Natalie, and unfortunately for her I think she will be stuck with me for the long run."
Rav
"I had heard so much about hypnotherapy for weight loss and wanted to try it, and I had 3 great sessions with Natalie. And omg I noticed the difference in the first session!! Natalie is such an amazing soul, she took me through the process and we discussed the areas I was struggling with. She helped me understand and love my body and food. She is amazing at what she does. I kicked off my sprite addiction in the first session!! I highly recommend Natalie for hypnotherapy for weight loss. Thank you for setting me off on this journey, I am so grateful I met you."
Richard

​"A few months after losing my mum I was struggling with coping and I realised that I needed help. After checking out several different therapists I found Natalie and something just clicked and I knew she was the right person to help me.
I had never seen a therapist or counsellor before so I had no idea what to expect, but after my first session, my mind was put at ease. I continued with regular sessions for 8 months, unpacking more than I realised was there which helped me to come to terms with the grief I was living in until I reached a point where I felt that I could manage on my own.
Without Natalie's help, I am certain that I would still be having serious problems today, but instead, I can cope far better than I thought I was capable of.
If you're struggling with grief, I highly recommend Natalie as someone who can help you through the process."
Ella
"Natalie was so amazing and helped me so much after suffering a sudden bereavement. She provides a safe space to be able to express yourself however suits you best without any judgment. I will never be able to thank her enough."
Ellie
"I have been having sessions with Natalie for over 2 years now and I genuinely would not have been able to overcome some of the things that I have encountered in life without the help of Natalie. When I first heard about hypnotherapy I was extremely anxious and unsure, however, she made me feel so safe and comfortable, which in turn led me to overcoming some of my fears and face them head on. Natalie offers a safe space where I feel I can confide in her, with no judgement. She has been a big part of my journey over the last few years and am extremely grateful to her."
