She also offers support for women’s issues and problems that affect young adults. Natalie holds the credential NCPS and practises from the United Kingdom.

Client-centred care and CBT for online therapy

Client-centred therapy is about being listened to and understood without judgement. The counsellor follows your lead, reflecting back what matters to you and helping you find your own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It uses straightforward exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build new coping habits for anxiety, panic, sleep problems and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and help decide whether client-centred methods, CBT, or a blend of both makes the most sense. That decision is collaborative and can change as you move forward.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to match different routines. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls suit quick check-ins or lower bandwidth, live chat can be good for short focused exchanges and messaging supports regular check-ins between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, study or family life.
