Natalia Parry-Vaughan

Offering Psychology and CBT assessment and treatment in Cheltenham.
Appointments available Monday afternoons and evenings.

I have over 10 years experience delivering CBT, which is a therapy where we work together to challenge or let go of distressing thoughts and change unhelpful behaviours. I regularly draw from Compassion Focussed interventions and principles from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

I have also undertaken further doctoral training in Counselling Psychology and integrate other therapeutic modalities including person-centred therapy, systemic therapy and psychodynamic therapy depending on the needs of the person I’m working with. I have experience working in a range of settings including the NHS, charitable sector, and universities.

My therapeutic style is friendly and informal, and I facilitate a space of self discovery. I emphasise the importance of teamwork in cultivating change. We work together to set goals, develop a shared understanding of your difficulties, and where appropriate, develop practical strategies to support meaningful and lasting change.

I work with a range of difficulties, including anxiety, OCD, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, stress, and the impact of distressing or traumatic life experiences. Whether you are facing a specific issue or seeking a deeper understanding of long-standing patterns, I aim to provide a supportive and collaborative space in which to explore what matters most to you.

I offer both short-term and longer-term therapy, depending on your goals and needs. Some people benefit from a focused, goal-oriented approach over a small number of sessions, while others prefer more extended therapeutic work. Sessions are available both in person and online, allowing flexibility to fit around your circumstances.

To ensure your safety and provide effective treatment, I follow evidence-based interventions and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines. I am fully accredited with the BABCP and hold an enhanced DBS certificate.

Please contact me to arrange a free (no obligation!) 15 minute welcome call to see if we could be a good fit.

Online and/or telephone appointments are available.
