Natalie Crickmore, Psychodynamic Psychotherapist.

Working Together for Stronger Mental Health

For Children, Adolescents & Young Adults.

Private 1:1 Counselling & Psychotherapy  with a trained & registered therapist, ready to work alongside your child as they navigate their own path to a healthier mind, clearer understanding and a happier self.

Hello,

My name is Natalie. I am a qualified psychodynamic counsellor who works alongside children, adolescents and young adults seeking tailored individual support for mental health.

I am a registered member  of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), meaning I am committed to the safe, ethical practice of counselling and therapeutic support, and regularly partake in continued professional development, ensuring my clients receive the best, up-to-date support.

Throughout training, I worked across various industries and settings. These include Early Years Care, Children's Residential Homes, Secondary & College Education and within the NHS in Acute Paediatrics, Burns Intensive Care and Community Eating Disorders team. 

Aside from offering private individual counselling in Colchester, I also work with school-based counselling services in Tendring, and continue to work for the NHS as a mental health triager, under the Southend, Essex & Thurrock's Child & Adolescent Mental Health Service (SET CAMHS).
