About Natalie
Natalie Mccarthy is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience and a BACP credential. She offers one-to-one support that aims to help people recognise their strengths and feel more comfortable with who they are. Sessions are straightforward and rooted in acceptance and understanding.
Her background is integrative, so she draws on several therapeutic approaches to match the needs of each person. That means sessions might focus on thoughts and behaviours one week and on attachment or meaning the next.
Background and approach
Natalie prefers clear, practical conversations rather than jargon, and she balances patience with gentle challenge when needed. People see her for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD and compassion fatigue. She also offers support for relationship and intimacy-related issues, body image and career-related stress.
Additional areas listed include chronic illness, caregiver strain and attachment issues. Therapy sessions are described as warm and down to earth, with time to feel heard and understood. Natalie aims to create a tailored plan with each person rather than applying the same model to everyone.
Progress often focuses on small, practical changes that fit everyday life. She offers sessions online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. People who prefer English can work with her, and international clients are not accepted.
To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to her availability.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is useful for addressing anxiety, low mood, unhelpful thinking and practical problems that get in the way of daily life.
Finding the best approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss goals and try different ways of working to see what fits. That might mean drawing on attachment ideas for relational themes and CBT for immediate symptom management.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is good for a face-to-face feeling and more in-depth work, while phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, notes between sessions or times when writing feels easier than speaking.
These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel. Registered or accredited professionals can carry out meaningful therapeutic work through these methods, and the therapist will help choose formats that match each person’s needs and daily life.
