Hello, I'm Natasha.

I'm a therapist and a qualified teacher with more than 25 years of teaching experience. I started Right Start to help people of all ages feel calmer, more confident and ready for what's next.

Why Right Start

Whether you are struggling with anxiety, stuck in a habit you want to change or preparing for an important exam, the right start makes all the difference. I want every first conversation to feel calm, unhurried and on your terms.

My background in psychology, therapy and teaching means I pay attention to how people think and feel as well as what they want to achieve. In therapy that means practical, evidence-based help. In tutoring it means patient lessons that build real confidence.

How I work

  • Warm, down-to-earth and non-judgemental
  • Grounded in evidence-based approaches such as CBT and ACT
  • Focused on what matters to you, not a fixed script

I see therapy clients and tutoring students at my practice in Milton Keynes: a quiet, private space with its own entrance.

I'll share the full address when you book. I also offer therapy and lessons online.
