Natasha Sackey, Movement Psychotherapist and Somatic Body Mapping Practitioner

Often words aren't enough to explain all we feel, especially when we don't know what is at the root of our painful emotions. At times, we are too overwhelmed by our thinking, and then we feel stuck and unable to move forward. 

As an ADMP-registered Dance Movement Psychotherapist and Somatic Body Mapping Practitioner. My approach to helping you to help you shift perspective involves working with your unique mind and body connection to take your whole experience into account. 

I offer my clients a private, relaxed, and informal space where we can work together in confidence about any troubling issues they may be experiencing. We can engage with creative, embodied, and holistic therapeutic practices to help you find other ways to understand your feelings. We will uncover conscious and unconscious patterns that may prevent you from experiencing your authentic self.

Don't hesitate to contact me to discuss how we might work together and the focus of your unique therapy process. Common reasons men, women, non-binary, and young people come for private sessions with me include:

​

  • Experiencing anxiety, stress, rumination, and self-blame

  • Coping with Depression

  • Low self-confidence and adverse life events

  • Issues concerning personal development, relationships, and fulfilment.

  • Bereavement and loss

  • Work-related difficulties

  • Psychosomatic illnesses

  • Trauma and childhood neglect

  • Personal development and exploring identity issues, including race, cultural and social-political connection with the world.

I have particular experience in the areas of:

  • Working with young people, children, and parents, especially those with neurodiverse conditions, including dyslexia, autism, ADHD, dyspraxia, and other neurological, learning, and/or sensory challenges.

  • Stress or living with health problems (e.g., burnout, ME, fibromyalgia, back pain, menopause symptoms)

  • Workplace performance anxiety and stress management.

  • Emotional disturbance (e.g., unable to process grief, express anger, blocked emotions)

  • Mentoring and coaching body awareness for individuals, groups, and organisations

  • Problems with communication -finding words that express what is happening within oneself.

  • Difficulties with connecting to oneself or body image.

  • Coping with life transitions- becoming a mother, parenthood, postnatal depression, divorce, loss of self or direction

  • Working with professional performers (speakers, artists, dancers, musicians, and actors)

Before you begin therapy, you may have questions about the process or how it might help you. Please book a free 15 min phone consultation, and we can have a short conversation before you consider booking a session. You can also read my blog for more information about Dance Movement Psychotherapy.
