About Natalie
Natalie Leslie uses a person-centred approach to help people untangle difficult feelings. She is a BACP counsellor with three years of experience. Natalie aims to make sessions calm and straightforward so people can say what matters to them without judgement.
She focuses on anxiety, stress and depression, and on grief and loss. She also supports people dealing with parenting pressures, relationship strain, low self-esteem and career worries. Additional concerns she addresses include chronic illness, fertility challenges, ageing issues and feelings of isolation.
How Natalie works
Natalie draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. That means she listens closely and helps people name emotions and patterns that cause pain. She favours practical conversation and emotional reflection over jargon-filled explanations.
Sessions explore what is happening now and how past experiences shape current responses. Natalie helps people spot unhelpful cycles and try small changes that can ease daily life. She pays attention to how emotions show up in the body and in relationships.
Therapy can involve short-term problem solving or longer work on deeper emotional themes. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Natalie works in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Online support options
How Natalie’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard. The counsellor offers genuine, non-judgemental listening and supports people to make sense of their own feelings. This approach suits people who want a respectful space to explore emotions and life choices.Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and work with strong emotions and relationship patterns. It can support those struggling with anxiety, depression, grief or repeated interpersonal issues by helping to name and process difficult feelings.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is a shared process. The counsellor will talk with each person about goals, needs and preferences and suggest which approach or combination might fit best. Plans can be adjusted as therapy progresses to reflect what helps most.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing to speaking or want to fit sessions around a busy day. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family and other commitments.
