Natasha Lobanova

I can offer mornings, day and evenings appointments during the weekdays and morning and day appointments on Saturdays.

I am not available on Sundays. 

I can offer you a safe and confidential space, my full attention and support to explore your feelings and emotions. I believe, that trusting and honest relationships between the counsellor and the client are important components of a successful therapeutic process, so if you choose me as your counsellor, we will work together to develop this trust between us.

Briefly about me: I am a warm and empathic person with  passion about mental health. I believe that with the right support people with any mental health conditions can live their lives to the best of their abilities and I am happy to offer my passion, skills and experience to support my clients through some very challenging times in their lives. 

I believe that challenges in life can lead to our personal growth. In my practice I use the elements of 鈥渓ogotherapy鈥�, developed by Viktor Frankl, the author of the book 鈥淢an鈥檚 search for meaning". The focus in this book is on love, hope, responsibility and inner freedom to choose our response in life鈥檚 situations.

For 5 years I  have been volunteering as a bereavement counsellor and for 2 years as a supervisor at Cruse bereavement care. I feel privileged and humbled by being able to support my clients in the journey through their grief. For 5 years I have volunteered in different roles at Sobell house hospice (Oxford). Hospice services are really close to my heart because of the invaluable support they offer for people at the end of their lives and their families. 

I prefer to offer face-to-face support if possible, but happy to offer online or telephone support if needed. 

My role as a therapist is not only to provide a safe and confidential space  to express and explore your feelings, but also to possibly  challenge some of your perceptions and to encourage you to ask yourself some important questions and to find some answers. 

I charge 65拢 for a 60 minutes face-to-face initial assessment.
