Natalie Herriott

Marriage and Family Therapist Associate

You feel stuck in an endless cycle of emotional blackmail. One moment, your partner is loving and the next they explode. You are so busy trying to avoid conflict that when you look in the mirror, you don't recognize who you see anymore. You crave feeling happy and like yourself again. I can help you get there.

About Me

When a relationship feels like a constant battle, you lose sight of yourself. I help individuals reclaim their voice and inner strength, moving beyond the cycle of emotional blackmail. We can explore these complex dynamics together. You will build strategies to navigate conflict and restore your sense of self. My aim is for you to feel recognised and happy again. This offers a clear path for those ready to break free from volatile patterns.

Approach

When unpredictable moods leave you exhausted and disconnected from who you used to be, I guide a steady path toward reclaiming calm and clarity. Sessions—in Newport Beach or online, in English—are paced to feel safe and focused, with space to name what’s happening, practice new ways of speaking up, and try short experiments between meetings. I mix exploration with practical steps so change feels real and manageable. This way of working fits people and couples ready to step out of hurtful patterns and find their voice again.
