Meet Natina

Natina started her career as a counsellor in 2007, working in Katherine, Northern Territory. Following the completion of a Graduate Diploma of Narrative Therapy in 2010, Narrative therapy became a cornerstone of her therapeutic approach. It is a strengths-based approach that centers the client's own expertise and knowledge regarding the problems they experience.

Natina joined the EASA team in 2012 and further developed her professional skills by completing a provisional psychology internship with EASA over 2 years resulting in registration as a General Psychologist. 

Throughout her counselling work in the Territory, Natina has had the opportunity to work with Indigenous and non-Indigenous families in remote communities throughout the Top End. She loves the diversity of our clients’ needs and utilises therapies that are highly creative and transformative such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), basic Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Transformational Chair Work (working with parts).

Recently she has developed her knowledge and skills in the area of Eye Movement & Desensitisation Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) to address issues related to trauma and anxiety. Natina uses an integrated and diverse approach based on the fundamental principles of Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness, inner child work and EMDR.
