About Natalie
Natalie Leslie is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting strains, anger and other life changes. Natalie also supports people facing relationship strain, sleep problems, low self-esteem and career pressures.
Her practice centres on person-centred ways of working that focus on the client's own experience. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people make sense of their feelings and respond to them differently. Sessions are conversational and aimed at helping clients notice patterns and try new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Natalie has worked with people coping with bereavement and chronic illness. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems and isolation. These areas often come up alongside depression, anxiety and compassion fatigue.
She uses techniques from person-centred and emotion-focused approaches to help clients name and work through strong emotions. The focus is on practical change - for example, reducing reactive anger, improving communication, or managing worry and sleeplessness.
Natalie describes therapy as a step-by-step process. Early sessions usually map the client’s concerns and priorities. Later work focuses on practising new responses and noticing what shifts in daily life. Clients are encouraged to reflect between sessions and bring real situations back to the room.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Natalie uses person-centred counselling and emotionally-focused ideas in her work. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what the client shares. It helps people feel heard and start to make sense of their reactions, which is useful for stress, low mood and anger.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions affect relationships and behaviour. It helps people identify patterns such as withdrawal or reactivity and practise different emotional responses. EFT can be especially relevant for relationship strain, grief and strong feelings that keep repeating.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Natalie will work together with the client to decide which ideas to try first, based on their goals and what feels most helpful. That collaborative decision is reviewed as work progresses so the approach can shift if needed.
Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel. They can allow for shorter check-ins on busy days, avoid commuting time and make it simpler to continue work during relocation or other changes.
