Natasha is a provisional councellor at Psychology Blossom, where she is committed to empowering her clients to develop self-awareness, coping skills and the confidence to navigate life’s many transitions.

Natasha has lived in Singapore since 2006, across two stints – initially as a high school student in an international school, and thereafter in the corporate world before setting forth to pursue her passion in counselling. In between, she studied and lived in the USA and the UK for five years. Drawing from these diverse and culturally rich experiences, Natasha brings broad yet deep insights, cultural sensitivity and strong interpersonal skills to her sessions. And she is passionate about using these to foster growth and resilience in youth and adults.

Deeply rooted in the philosophy that change is the only constant and that growth is a continuous process, Natasha seeks to help her clients to cope through life’s ups and downs with grit, authenticity and self-compassion. As well, Natasha believes that undertaking an inward journey to better understand oneself and their values is critical for wellbeing and is committed to guiding her clients on this journey.

Having benefited from therapy herself, Natasha understands the importance of having a therapist guide you on your journey towards healing. Natasha hopes to spread the message that therapy is not just for management and treatment of poor mental health, but also for positive wellbeing. Her background has also allowed Natasha to understand the challenges and demands of today’s education pathways and the corporate world, and is a passionate advocate for mental health and wellbeing in schools and the workplace.

Outside of counselling, Natasha enjoys spending time with her dog and family, exploring creative outlets like cooking, reading, writing, and keeping in sync with the latest mental health initiatives.

Natasha works with youth and adults across a variety of presentations, including anxiety, depression, burnout, adjustment issues, relocation, cultural transition, relationship issues and school/work-related issues. She also supports clients struggling with their self-esteem and self-confidence and working through life transitions and identity-related questions.

Natasha has a Bachelor of Science in Life Sciences with a minor in Public Health from the University of Rochester, and a Masters in Public Health from Imperial College London. She is currently pursuing her Masters in Counselling at Monash University. Prior to this, Natasha worked as a management consultant in a large multi-national company, and in healthcare policy for the Singapore government.

Natasha is also dedicated to her personal and professional growth, and continually engages in training and workshops to stay informed on the latest therapeutic practices. She is qualified in Choice Theory Reality Therapy Level 1 and is currently undergoing the process for a Level 2 certification.

Natasha’s therapeutic style is warm, empathetic, encouraging, yet direct and facilitative. She emphasizes on a strong, collaborative relationship with her clients, recognising that the therapeutic relationship is very important for positive outcomes in therapy. She provides an inclusive, safe and supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings without judgement. Throughout the course of therapy, Natasha draws from an integrative approach across Cognitive and Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Choice Theory Reality Therapy (CT-RT) and Person-Centred Therapy (PCT).
