About Natalie
Natalie Leslie is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, grief and a wide range of life changes. Natalie also supports those dealing with relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, career pressures and issues around identity and self‑esteem.
Natalie uses a person‑centred way of working. Sessions focus on listening and reflecting so people can better understand their feelings. She helps clients name what is difficult and notice patterns that keep them stuck.
Her practice also draws on emotion‑focused ideas. That means practical attention to strong feelings, such as grief or anger, and how those feelings shape relationships and daily life. This approach aims to help people feel more able to process painful emotions rather than push them away.
Natalie has experience supporting people through coping with illness, chronic pain, bereavement, fertility and end‑of‑life issues. She also works with clients facing abandonment, codependency, communication problems and guilt and shame.
The first sessions usually involve talking about immediate concerns and what the person hopes to change. Natalie uses clear, direct conversation and reflective listening to map out priorities together. She asks about practical constraints like work or study so therapy can fit into everyday life.
Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not currently accepted. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first appointment.
How her approach translates to online sessions
Client‑centred therapy puts the client’s experience at the heart of each session. It involves listening, reflecting and helping people name what matters to them. This approach can be useful for issues like low mood, self‑esteem and general life stress.Emotionally‑focused work pays attention to strong feelings and how they affect relationships and daily routines. It aims to help people recognise, express and work through emotions such as grief, anger or shame so those feelings are less overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with the client and decide together which methods to use. This remains a collaborative process and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.
If you want to use therapy online, check the current session options before booking. Confirming formats is important because this profile does not list specific session types. Many people value online work because it can fit around study or early careers, allow shorter check‑in appointments, and reduce travel time. Speak with Natalie during the matching step to discuss which online arrangements would suit your schedule and needs.
