Natalie Cross

Director – Registered Psychologist

Natalie Cross is the Director and Founder of Creative Cognitions and provides evidence-based psychological treatment for a wide range of presentations.

Natalie’s goal in therapy is to offer an open, warm, and personable approach, with treatment plans tailored to each individual’s goals and needs. She values getting to know her clients and building a genuine therapeutic relationship where you feel connected, heard, and understood.

Natalie believes that one of the most important aspects of psychological therapy is psychoeducation—helping you understand why you might be feeling or experiencing certain thoughts, emotions, or behaviours. While we learn a great deal about our physical health throughout life, we often receive very little education about our mental health—how we think, why we behave the way we do, and what is really happening for us beneath the surface.

These unknowns can add to the distress we already feel. By helping you develop a deeper understanding of your own mental health, Natalie aims to foster collaboration in treatment and support your growing sense of autonomy and self-awareness.

Natalie draws on a range of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Positive Psychology, Interpersonal Skills Training, and Relationship Counselling.

Natalie works with adults aged 18 years and over.
