Meet our Principle Psychotherapist in Sydney, Nathanial Petersen

I am a PACFA registered Gestalt psychotherapist with over twenty years of experience in the corporate world, managing people and complex situations in high-demand environments.

I became a therapist as a result of my own lived experiences. I am proud to be the person I am today because I had the courage to seek support. Therapy offers a safe place where you can truly be yourself; to be seen and heard free of judgement. It’s an opportunity to explore who you are at your core, and how you relate to your unique life experiences and the world around you.

I have a particular interest in trauma, relationship and attachment work, along with being able to help people navigate the inevitable challenges of life.

I believe the restoration of choice is one of the most important things. To live authentically is to choose how you want to live. My role is to support you through that process.

Everyone is different; some people have short term goals, while others prefer weekly sessions for deeper ongoing work and/or personal growth. I’m here for you, whatever you need, and I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Nate.

  • Here at The Relational Clinic, we utilise the principles and processes of Gestalt psychotherapy. Gestalt therapy is a humanistic, holistic form of psychotherapy focusing on a person’s unique life experiences and challenges. It gives attention to how we place meaning on things and makes sense of the world around us. By doing so, it creates a newfound self-awareness that can have a powerful impact on how we relate to others, ourselves and our environment. Learn more about us here.
