During her training, Natasha completed placements in a variety of different services, such as specialist eating disorder services for children and adults, and a community mental health team for older adults. Natasha also co-authored a book chapter about social justice-informed therapy with neurodivergent clients.

In addition to her work with The Adult Autism and ADHD Practice, Natasha works as a psychologist for a specialist service that supports autistic children, young people and their families, as well as working in private practice. Prior to her doctoral training, Natasha worked therapeutically in various community and inpatient services with autistic people across the lifespan, including those belonging to the LGBTQ+ community and people with long-term health conditions and disabilities.

Natasha’s professional practice centres around working collaboratively using a neuroaffirming, strengths-based approach that facilitates compassion and trust. From her own experience, Natasha understands the importance of helping you feel heard and supported during this process. As a neurodivergent psychologist, Natasha is passionate about using her voice to help neurodivergent people access the healthcare and support they need.
