Why natter?
Let’s be honest. Talking about yourself to a rando stranger for an hour can be weird, especially when it involves discussing why you might be feeling like a piece of garbage. It's normal to have a mix of emotions and feel shame, fear, discomfort, or resistance when starting the process. However, working with a practitioner can be immensely helpful. Let's Have a Natter uses the word "natter" to create a more relaxed and casual vibe to the thing. Imagine you’re talking to a friend about how you're feeling, perhaps starting with “I feel like shit” and “I don’t know what to do”. Think of it like “spilling the tea”, but on yourself, and the journey goes from there.
We believe humour and creativity can exist alongside difficult conversations and feelings that might arise. We think it’s important to lean into this whilst acknowledging the difficult stuff and appreciating that you are the expert in your own life and experiences. At Let's Have a Natter, we don't believe in the "therapist knows best" approach. We value you and your story; after all, the therapeutic process is a bit like storytelling, and we respect yours and your beliefs. We use a strengths-based approach, mixing narrative therapy into different methodologies so we can centre on you and build a collaborative relationship, which is often more important to the process of having a natter than the model of theories a practitioner might use.

In an ideal world, we would be able to express ourselves freely and communicate effectively with others, especially during emotional moments, without any difficulties. HA! The reality is that it can be challenging to relate to others when we are going through our own struggles and feeling unheard or unseen, and it can have a negative impact on our mental health over time. Clear communication is crucial for developing healthy relationships. If you can communicate effectively, you'll find that your relationships with your partner, friends, family, colleagues, and acquaintances are easier and have less conflict. Feeling like you can't talk to those around you can lead to anxiety, insecurity, and loneliness, causing you to distance yourself from others. We understand that sometimes it can be overwhelming to initiate conversations, but we're here for ya, and have developed products to help improve your connections and support you to initiate a natter with someone.
