About Natalie

Natalie Leslie is a counsellor who works from a client-centred perspective. She aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult feelings. Natalie encourages small steps towards change and supports people who want a more satisfying life.

Natalie uses a person-centred approach that puts the client’s experience at the heart of the work. She also draws on emotionally-focused ideas to help people understand and process strong emotions. In sessions she listens closely and reflects back what she hears so clients can make clearer sense of their feelings.

Her background includes work with people facing anxiety and depression, and helping those who are coping with grief and loss. She also supports people dealing with parenting stress, relationship and family concerns, sleep problems, anger, and low self-esteem. Practical issues such as career stress, compassion fatigue and life changes are part of her day-to-day work.

Additional areas Natalie can help with include chronic illness and pain, fertility and end-of-life matters, codependency and communication problems, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She combines straightforward conversation with emotional exploration to address these concerns.

Natalie has three years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with people in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to Natalie’s availability.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers a supportive, non-judgemental space where people can talk and feel heard, which can help with anxiety, low mood and self-esteem. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, helps people attend to and name strong emotions so they can be processed more clearly; this can be useful for grief, relationship distress and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which approach, or mix of approaches, best fits their needs and goals. This is done together, with adjustments made as the work progresses so sessions stay relevant to what matters to the client.

Session formats are not listed in the supplied biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins around work breaks, or make it simpler to join from a quieter place. Many people find it easier to maintain consistency when sessions are easier to fit into daily routines. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can help you choose the practical setup that will work best for you.
