Nat Phillips

My name is Nat, and I am an experienced counsellor working individually with adolescents and adults throughout Aotearoa. I offer both online and in-person counselling sessions for ages 13+.

I can support you to navigate a wide range of challenges, although I do specialise in…

• Self-compassion & self-esteem
• LGBTQ+ affirming therapy
• Managing anxiety and panic attacks
• Body image / body acceptance
• Boundary setting and communication skills
• Self-discovery after autism diagnosis in adulthood

Approach

My approach is person-centered and pluralistic – this means I’ll work collaboratively with you to set therapeutic goals that are meaningful to you personally. I’ll pull from a wide range of counselling theories and modalities and will tailor our sessions to ensure they’re as unique as you are.

My aim is always to uplift and empower you as we co-navigate your journey to wellbeing. Whether you prefer online or in-person sessions, my counselling space is a safe environment for you to share, grow, and challenge yourself at your own pace. It’s ok if you don’t know exactly what you’re hoping to get from therapy during our first session – you are welcome to come as you are right now, and together we can begin to explore what might be helpful to you.

I understand that it can feel really daunting to seek out a counsellor. You may have questions about the process, my practice, or about therapy in general. This is totally understandable. I offer a free 15-minute consultation over the phone in which I can answer your questions and we can get a feel for if my services are right for you.
