Online Counselling Australia | Meet Our Virtual Therapy Team

Hello, I am Natasha, a registered psychologist and founder of Graciously You Psychological Services, established in April 2020. I created this online counselling practice to build a virtual therapy service that provides you with therapy online via Zoom or phone. My intent was to give people an opportunity to have a sense of agency over their psychological care regardless of their location.

I hope this virtual psychology space allows you to connect with a service and practitioner you believe is the right fit for you, while giving you the flexibility to fit appointments around your lifestyle.

My Primary Focus

In my telehealth therapy practice, I primarily work with women and teenage girls who want to improve their relationship with themselves so they can start creating and living the life the way they want. I approach this using a whole-body approach, as no system works alone. We explore your lifestyle, present circumstances, past experiences (including trauma), and where you want to be. My approach is practical and I provide tools to experiment with between sessions.

My Therapeutic Style

If you were to ask how I am in the therapy online (virtual) room, I would say I am inquisitive, supportive, warm and empathetic, which I accompany with humor at times. I believe your story is important and we work at your pace, with you only sharing what you’re comfortable with.

Training and Experience

To support you and my other clients, I draw upon my experience working with a diverse range of people across a variety of settings including private practice, employment, paediatric and educational. My experience allows me to offer online counselling across a range of areas through creative collaboration based on the range of therapy techniques I am trained, which I pair with techniques such as mindfulness, self-compassion, transformational chairwork and body-based skills from sensorimotor psychotherapy, as well as my knowledge of the brain and neuroplasticity, and the role of diet and exercise in mental health.

I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Comprehensive Behavioural Intervention for Tics (CBiT). Increasing access to these therapies was part of the reason I started a virtual psychology practice as these are therapeutic techniques that people often may not have access to in their town or cities, or if they do, may need to wait long periods of time to access the support.

Personal Philosophy

Through my work with clients over the last 10 years, I have observed that exploring and processing emotions, rather than avoiding them, trying to out run them or keeping too busy to feel them, can facilitate growth. If you feel I may be a psychologist that can work along side you, I look forward to supporting you through what you are experiencing now so you can work toward the vision you have for yourself at this time in your life.

About Me Personally

If you are curious to know a bit more about me, when I am not working, you will find me with my young family outside or on an adventure, or taking some time for myself to exercise, garden, or cook.
