SUNNY SIDE UP PSYCHOTHERAPY
A soft place for scrambled minds.
Therapy for teens and adults navigating anxiety, intense emotions, relationship struggles, and life changes.
A space and dedicated time that is just for you.
You don’t have to have it all figured out (or even organized) to get started.
Together, we’ll slow things down, make sense of what’s working and what isn’t, and build tools that actually fit into the life you want to be living.
ABOUT NATALIE
Hi, I'm Natalie! A Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and the therapist behind Sunny Side Up Psychotherapy.
I’m a curious, compassionate, and occasionally awkward gal who genuinely loves learning about people and the stories that make up their lives. I believe in the power of humour, the magic of small moments in our daily lives, and the importance of slowing down in a world that often feels like a thief of time.
My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and honest. I offer a space for you to unpack whatever you’ve been carrying, while helping you notice patterns, build skills, and create changes that make life feel more meaningful and manageable.
Therapy isn’t about fixing you or changing who you are. It’s about building a deeper understanding of yourself, your experiences, and the world you’re navigating.

What to Expect
Therapy at Sunny Side Up is an active and collaborative process. It holds space for deepening your connection with yourself while introducing practical skills to support the difficult moments. Every session is shaped around what you're needing most, whether that's relief, reflection, or a little bit of both.
Finding skills that work for you
Together, we’ll explore strategies that actually feel useful in your life. Drawing skills from DBT we’ll focus on distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and building effective interpersonal skills and remaining in the present. These tools can help you respond more intentionally, stay grounded, and move through life's challenging moments with greater self-awareness.
Explore your story
Together, we’ll explore where your patterns come from and how they’ve shaped your sense of self. You’ll begin to reconnect with the parts of you that have been misunderstood, ignored, or overwhelmed. This process nurtures self-compassion and helps rebuild a more confident, grounded sense of self.
Working towards change
Therapy is both supportive and challenging, it’s not always a comfy and that’s okay. Growth often starts with small, sometimes awkward steps as we figure out what’s working for you and what’s not. Through curiosity and care, we’ll start to unravel distorted thoughts, identify patterns, and reflect on how your thoughts, behaviours, and choices line up with your values - not the ones passed down by parents, partners, or society.
