Natasha Vdovkina

I currently work online (worldwide) and in-person. My private practice is in Clifton, Bristol.  I work Monday to Thursday. During the day in-person or online, evenings online only.  

I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist, Accredited member of Â鶹ԭ´´ and EMDR Association UK. I am also qualified to work with groups and hold a diploma in Group Analysis. I have been working as a therapist since 2012. I have extensive experience of working in a variety of settings, including the NHS mental health services, local therapy centre, voluntary sector organisations and private practice.

I am particularly interested in understanding how our earliest experiences and relationships with others impact our current relationships in daily live. In my therapy work I bear in mind the wider context we live in, and the social and environmental issues that affect our inner worlds. My areas of interest are trauma and narcissistic abuse.

I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space in which we can jointly explore the difficulties you might be experiencing.

I offer individual in-person or online therapy. I offer single session therapy, short-term or long term therapy. 

 Although my practice is underpinned by psychodynamic understanding, I do not believe there is a single approach that works for all. I aim to tailor my service to each client and integrate such theories as Transactional Analysis, Group Analysis and EMDR in my work.

My approach is warm, friendly and empathetic, yet boundaried and at times challenging. I believe a good therapeutic relationship makes positive life changes possible.

The initial session is a good way for us to get to know each other, to see if we can work together and jointly decide what your therapeutic goal might be and how we can achieve it. The rate for the initial session is the same as all consecutive sessions.
