About Natasha
Natasha Hughes is a counsellor registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) with 15 years' experience. She works with adults on problems such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma and addiction. She also supports people facing grief, parenting strain, career uncertainty, and challenges common in young adulthood.
Natasha takes a straightforward and practical approach in sessions. She listens without judgement and helps people notice how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. She uses cognitive techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practical steps to test different ways of coping.
She has experience working with trauma and abuse and uses EMDR when appropriate to address distress linked to past events. Jungian ideas about meaning and mindfulness practices also feature in her work when they fit a person's needs. Natasha has worked with people from diverse backgrounds and sexual orientations.
Sessions look at everyday pressures as well as deeper patterns, such as attachment, codependency or abandonment wounds. She also helps with issues around body image, eating, substance use and anger, and supports people managing ADHD or bipolar symptoms alongside life stresses.
People who come for help are encouraged to set clear, practical goals. Natasha helps break those goals into small steps and checks progress each session. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule the first meeting.
Therapeutic approaches Natasha uses online
Natasha combines Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and EMDR as part of her work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people can speak openly about their concerns and priorities. CBT looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviour and gives practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that aims to reduce distress linked to specific memories by using structured bilateral stimulation alongside processing techniques.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Natasha will discuss goals, preferences and how interventions feel in practice, and together they will decide which methods to try first. Adjustments are made as therapy progresses to match what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, work or travel by removing commute time and allowing check-ins from different locations. It can also allow shorter or more frequent touchpoints when useful, and remove the need to be on camera for every meeting depending on the agreed format. Registered or accredited professionals will discuss practical arrangements when you schedule the first session.
