About & Contact

Hello, my name is Natalie McGrath (PhD), and I founded my business Paradigm Change Coach (paradigmchangecoach.com) to contribute towards a greater wellbeing and sustainability paradigm change process underway in addition to providing compassionate support in a relational context to those seeking to heal and/or to change their personal paradigm.
My qualifications and experience span breadth and my business is influenced by this. I am a trained counsellor and mental health clinician in addition to being a nationally accredited nutrition coach. I offer a range of services including Integrative Counselling and Holistic Health & Wellbeing Coaching.
I believe that the human capacity for consciousness, realisation and wisdom is an infinite resource that can be tapped into with expert method and technique. Ultimately, however, I see that my clients are the experts, and I offer knowledge and skill towards supporting healthy sustainable growth for individuals and groups, including supporting the challenging path of growing through trauma.
I am trained across diverse method and technique with nature, creativity and mindfulness being core themes in my work including to complement more structured approaches that I use with clients such as CBT. I most often utilise an integration of methods, in counselling, coaching and more generally I adopt a capacity building practice also in community development and consulting work.
Collaboration and dialogue are centralised in my work with clients, and this complements the robustness of the techniques employed across all services. I have worked across culture and sectors and aim to create common ground to build understanding. I celebrate our unique individuality and honour this within my clients.
Maintaining a personal holistic wellbeing practice is a priority for me, I care for myself with a daily routine that adapts to the season. I have been practicing yoga and meditation for 25 years and ayurveda for 15 years and have taught and practiced in this field including in regional Australia. I have worked across most sectors in community service and also across demographics including with people experiencing disability.
Other chapters of my career include a sustainability academic, political economist, participatory and deliberative democracy practitioner, community development practitioner including with Australian Aboriginal communities amongst other roles and also as a policy consultant. My PhD was about power and relationships in policy. I continue to offer these skills in the consulting arm of my business.
Contact me at info@paradigmchangecoach.com or +61 448830433 for a conversation about how we can collaborate or to talk about how I can help you within a capacity building frame. Services are available face to face in Bayswater, Perth or online.
I acknowledge the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation as the traditional custodians of Boorloo (Perth). I have deep respect for Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait people who have maintained the longest living culture on the planet today and I have respect for First Nation traditions and peoples globally.
I am a member of the Australian Counselling Association and I am accredited by the Nutrition Council of Australia. I am also a member of the Western Australian Association of Mental Health and the Economics Society of Australia and the Women in Economics Network.
