Natalie Leslie, BACP

Natalie Leslie is a BACP counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people navigate difficult moments. She keeps the work straightforward and warm, inviting clients to talk about depression, anxiety, grief, parenting pressures and midlife concerns. Natalie aims to make starting therapy feel manageable for someone worried about taking the first step.

Natalie draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in her work. She focuses on helping people name and sit with their emotions, and to notice patterns that affect relationships and wellbeing. Sessions tend to centre on listening, reflecting, and gently guiding people toward clearer self-understanding.

Her background includes experience with a wide range of life problems such as career stress, sleep difficulties, anger, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. She also addresses issues like abandonment, codependency, chronic illness, fertility concerns, and end-of-life matters when they come up in therapy.

Natalie has three years of experience and works in the United Kingdom. Her BACP credential is noted in her professional details. She offers a calm, accepting space where people can explore issues without judgement and take practical steps toward change.

Therapy with Natalie aims to be collaborative. She helps people clarify what they want from therapy and supports small, manageable changes. The overall focus is on emotional processing and rebuilding a sense of direction during life transitions.

How her counselling approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation. This approach helps people who need time to make sense of feelings, build self-trust and decide what change looks like for them.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people tune into their emotional experience and understand how emotions shape patterns in relationships and daily life. It is often used when anxiety, depression, loss or relational pain are getting in the way of feeling connected to oneself or others.

Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then try approaches that suit the individual. That collaboration helps shape ongoing sessions so they remain relevant and practical.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work and family life and reducing travel time. Online work can make shorter check-ins easier and may be simpler when quieter surroundings are needed or when meeting in person is difficult. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as the therapist's current options are shown during the matching and scheduling steps.
