A safe and compassionate space

Supporting adults through anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

Book Session

Let me introduce myself.

I am Natalia Hassan, an integrative counsellor.

I am a fatherless daughter, and my early life was shaped by loss, complex family dynamics, and having to grow up very quickly. These experiences influenced how I understood emotional safety, attachment, and relationships — and later became a meaningful part of why I was drawn to therapeutic work.

I was born in Kazakhstan, raised in Russia, and moved to England, where I built a life with my husband from a different cultural background. Growing together within a multicultural relationship brought both growth and significant emotional adjustment. This journey has deepened my understanding of identity, belonging, and the quiet resilience it takes to begin again.

Languages: I speak English and Russian.

Why Therapy Matters to Me

Early Experiences

Early Experiences

Like many people impacted by early experiences, I carried perfectionism, emotional suppression, and questions around relationships into adulthood. Growing up in a household affected by alcohol dependency also shaped my sensitivity to emotional patterns within families.

Healing Journey

Healing Journey

I also carried a great deal of shame and guilt for many years — emotions that can feel heavy, isolating, and difficult to put into words. Through my own therapeutic journey, I came to understand where these feelings came from and, more importantly, how they can be gently transformed.

Transformation

Transformation

Therapy helped me reconnect with myself, develop self-compassion, and find strength where there was once survival.

This personal transformation is central to how I work. It has made me deeply compassionate and a strong believer in the healing power of therapy.

How I Work

I work integratively, which means I draw on different therapeutic approaches to suit the individual rather than expecting the person to fit the model.

A Personal Note to You

It is never too late to experience the childhood you didn't get — through care, safety, and self-compassion. And it is never too late to discover your true self, beyond survival, beyond roles, and beyond the past.
