Natalie Bossi - Addiction Counsellor

Natalie Bossi serves as a Specialist Addiction Counsellor with Virtual Care Professional Services and maintains a private practice at the Blaauwberg Therapy Centre in Cape Town. Early in her life, she experienced the impact of alcoholism within her family, which sparked her dedication to understanding and treating addiction. Consequently, she earned a Postgraduate Diploma in Addiction Care from the University of Cape Town. Meanwhile, she completed a Motivational Interviewing Proficiency Certificate to deepen her skills in guiding clients toward change. Furthermore, her academic journey includes studies in psychology at both Stellenbosch University and the University of South Africa. Therefore, she combines rigorous training with personal insight to support individuals on their recovery journeys.

Moreover, Natalie integrates Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in every session. As a result, she helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with healthier alternatives. Consequently, her approach ensures that each individual gains both understanding and practical tools. Additionally, she draws on her decade-long role with the South African Responsible Gambling Foundation, where she specialised in gambling addiction and received targeted training. Thus, she brings a broad perspective on addictive behaviours to every client interaction.
