Natalie Leslie, BACP

Natalie works from a client-centred perspective that focuses on the person's own experience. This means the counsellor listens carefully, reflects what is heard and helps people name their feelings. It is useful for stress, low mood, relationship worries and parenting strain.

She also uses emotionally-focused therapy ideas to access and work with core emotions. This approach helps when strong feelings such as grief, abandonment or shame get in the way of moving forward. Sessions aim to deepen understanding of emotional patterns and to open up new ways of relating to oneself and others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and Natalie treats it as a collaborative process. She will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adapt methods as needed, so the plan reflects what feels most helpful.

Online therapy with Natalie is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and fuller conversation, while phone sessions can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging can suit brief check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and mobility needs, while keeping a consistent therapeutic relationship with registered or accredited professionals.
