About Natalie
Natalie Brunning is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, low self-esteem and complex trauma including sexual and domestic abuse. Natalie helps clients who are navigating difficult emotional experiences and life strain common in early adulthood.
She uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people talk through symptoms and build day-to-day coping. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps you can try between meetings. Natalie aims to move at each person's pace and keeps sessions straightforward and goal-focused.
Her work includes support for those affected by abandonment, adoption and foster care history, attachment difficulties, and the long-term effects of trauma. She also addresses concerns around body image, relationship commitment, codependency and the effects of chronic illness or caregiving stress.
Natalie has experience working with people who identify with a range of neurodiversity and personality-related issues, and with those involved in BDSM, kink and alternative sexual cultures. She frames difficult memories and behaviours in ways that make sense and that you can act on.
People who come to Natalie can expect a direct, steady approach that focuses on what they want to change. Her practice supports adults who are finding the transition into new stages of life hard, including leaving home, study, early work stress and relationship challenges.
How evidence-based approaches work in remote sessions
Natalie uses evidence-informed therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of reacting in everyday situations to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach works with trauma by helping people make sense of distressing memories and learn manageable skills to reduce overwhelming reactions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before, and then try methods that suit your needs. Plans are reviewed and adjusted together as you notice what is useful.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy life and keeping appointments when travel is difficult. Please confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Many people find remote sessions easier to schedule around study, work shifts or caregiving, and some formats allow shorter check-ins when time or bandwidth is limited.
