About Nat
Hi I’m Nat, founder of NuVu. I'm a Southampton based Clinical Hypnotherapist and mum to two feral boys! I use various evidence-based therapies to treat a range of issues such as anxiety, panic attacks, stress, overwhelm, depression, phobias and trauma. I have a particular interest in the effects of trauma, this area is close to my heart and one in which I am able to use my own experiences to support my clients in their recovery.
I absolutely LOVE my job. I fully invest in every client that I work with and get such a buzz from seeing the positive changes unfold. I’m an open and easy-going person, when you’re working with me it’s a totally judgement free zone!
My career didn’t start in the most traditional way. I left school at 14 with no qualifications and eventually found myself working for the NHS; this confirmed my desire to create a career focused around helping people.
Having used self-hypnosis during the births of my children, and to overcome my own mental health challenges, I became fascinated with the power of our mind-body connection. So, after a 15-year career in the NHS, I decided it was time to find more fulfilment in my work. I retrained at the UK’s most prestigious college for therapeutic hypnosis - AECTH, and I’ve never looked back!
I specialise in hypnobirthing and working with clients throughout the perinatal period. As a busy mum myself, I’ve experienced the ups and downs of pregnancy and parenting, so I’m passionate about supporting parents through what can be an overwhelming transition.

Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, I get that. I’m here to support you through the process and help you to make lasting changes in your life.
