Personal Consultancy is an integrated approach to the practices of counselling, psychotherapy and coaching. It supports you to navigate the process of change so you can create the life you desire with the life that seeks you.
As a dynamic framework for the different types of 'helping-by-talking' practices, Personal Consultancy values the diverse application of various 1:1 techniques, i.e. it is not limited by any particular theoretical bias or preconception.
It combines 'Consultancy': the meeting that takes place to discuss, accept and decide what happens next, with the 'Personal': focusing on the person and personal matters, which may of course include social and professional issues as well.
The term was coined by psychologists Popovic and Jinks in 2014 who advocate that a flexible model, that embraces the complexity of human nature, allows for a deeper impact than coaching or counselling can create on their own.
Personal Consultancy beautifully mixes the empathic, reparative work normally associated with counselling with the more proactive, goal-oriented, solution-focused and problem management approach often linked with coaching.
Change, growth and creativity needs are met holistically within one relationship enabling integration of both internal conflicts and external issues, ultimately giving rise to harmonisation between your inner and outer worlds.
"I feel more positive after a session with Natalie. It reinforced my passions and where I can contribute to this world. I’m feeling more focused, clearer on what is fulfilling for me and the hour helped me put a lot into perspective. Feeling like this year has finally started for me."

"Terrific morning of Personal Consultancy with Natalie out in nature. Rediscovered some beautiful and meaningful locations that reminded me of important cities I have lived in over the years. Surprised and inspired by the process."
