About Natalie
Natalie Janinski is an ACA counsellor with three years' clinical experience based in Australia. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, plus trauma and anger. Natalie also supports people facing attachment concerns, abandonment, codependency and related struggles.
Natalie describes herself as a lived experience practitioner who uses experiential approaches. She mentions Internal Family Systems, Coherence Therapy and somatic interventions such as breathwork and mindful focusing. She explains these methods aim to engage memory reconsolidation and reduce symptoms like anxiety and self-sabotage.
In sessions she combines movement-informed practices and breath-based techniques with focused therapeutic work. That can include gentle yoga-informed movement, polyvagal-informed strategies and somatic noticing to help the body and thinking patterns settle. These options are presented as ways to work through intense feelings rather than long verbal analysis alone.
Natalie invites a pragmatic discussion about fit before starting. She offers a brief chat by email to answer questions and to help decide if the approach is a good match. This makes it easier to know what to expect from a first appointment.
Her style is direct and experiential. Sessions concentrate on shifting concrete patterns - reducing anxiety, interrupting people-pleasing behaviours, and easing persistent shame or guilt. People looking for hands-on, body-aware therapy may find this approach useful.
How experiential and somatic methods work online
Internal Family Systems is an experiential model that works with parts of a person's inner experience. It often helps with strong self-critical thoughts, people-pleasing and patterns tied to attachment. Coherence Therapy focuses on identifying and changing the emotional learnings that keep symptoms active, aiming for noticeable shifts in how memories and beliefs affect current feelings.Natalie pairs these with somatic techniques such as breathwork, mindful focusing and polyvagal-informed strategies. Those practices teach simple body-based skills to reduce arousal and support calmer thinking. Together the approaches are used to help with anxiety, shame, dissociation and relational triggers in concrete ways.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Natalie will collaborate to decide which methods match a person's goals, preferences and comfort. She encourages questions and a short introductory conversation to check fit and plan next steps.
The biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work or other commitments. They can also allow a shorter check-in, reduce travel time and let people use quieter surroundings or turn off video if that helps them engage.
