FOUNDER, COURSE CREATOR
& TRAUMA THERAPIST
Natàlia Perry

Natàlia is a social entrepreneur and Complex Trauma Recovery Specialist- with a 25-year background in supporting survivors of rape, sexual abuse, sex trafficking, and multi-perpetrator, multigenerational abuse. She has also worked in forensic settings with violent offenders, gangsters, and child soldiers, as well as combating transnational child sex offender and human trafficking networks in collaboration with various law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, AFP, and Interpol.
The clients she has supported have all suffered from Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD). Over the years, this experience led Natàlia to develop Inner-Selves, a theory and therapeutic approach that focuses on healing the fractured mind as a means of resolving complex trauma. Natàlia argues that at the heart of most psychological disorders is ‘disruptive dissociation,’ and that by dissolving inner conflict between the ‘parts’ of oneself, the disorders naturally dissipate.
The Inner-Selves online course, and accompanying book (due for release soon), provides her clients with the tools to resolve complex trauma, dissolve disruptive dissociation, and learn to heal themselves through insight, understanding, and faith.
Natàlia holds a BSc in Psychology and Neuropsychology, and numerous specialist trainings in forensic psychology, talking therapies, and complex trauma.
