About Natalie
Natalie Young is a counsellor with five years' experience helping people untangle repeating patterns that leave them stuck or overwhelmed. She offers a calm, curious space where people can begin to understand what gets in the way of everyday life. Natalie works with issues such as anxiety, stress, depression, relationship difficulties and parenting strain.
Her background includes work with trauma, addiction, grief and compassion fatigue, alongside concerns like self-esteem, ADHD and career-related stress.
How Natalie works
She is registered with the BACP, which is listed as her professional credential. Sessions are offered in English and she welcomes international clients. Natalie draws on several therapeutic approaches.
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and choose values-led actions. She also works from an attachment-informed perspective to look at how early relationships shape current difficulties. Her client-centred stance means the person sets the pace and focus of sessions.
In practice she aims for an honest but gentle style. Sessions combine reflection on repetitive behaviours with practical steps to test new ways of relating. Natalie pays attention to stuck emotions and to parts of the self that have been hidden or shamed.
People who come to her often want to change long-standing ways of coping and to build kinder relationships with themselves. Therapy is collaborative and tailored to each person's goals, whether that means short-term coaching or deeper emotional work.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling and support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and for anyone wanting clearer direction in life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses; it can help with relationship difficulties and recurring coping patterns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on giving the person space to lead the conversation while the counsellor offers empathic listening and non-judgemental reflection; this approach suits people who need time to find their own answers.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before, then try methods that fit the person's needs. Over time the approach can be adjusted as progress and priorities become clearer.
Online therapy with Natalie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, written reflection or when fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make counselling more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and travel.
