Natalie Leslie uses a person-centred approach to help people facing stress, sadness, anxiety and big life changes. She offers calm, steady support that aims to make talking feel easier. Natalie is identified with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and brings three years of practice to her work.

She focuses on everyday problems as well as deeply painful events. That includes grief, relationship strain, parenting concerns, career stress, sleeping difficulties and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

She also helps people who are processing chronic illness, fertility or end-of-life matters. Natalie works to create a space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement. Natalie draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to guide sessions.

That means she pays close attention to a person’s experience and to the emotions beneath repeating patterns. Sessions aim to help people reconnect with their feelings and make clearer choices about what comes next. Her background includes work in NHS talking therapies and training in person-centred experiential counselling for depression.

Natalie uses that experience when someone needs support for low mood, anxiety or emotional overwhelm. She prefers straightforward conversations and practical next steps when helpful. People who choose Natalie often want a steady companion through change.

She works alongside each person to build understanding and to strengthen coping skills. The emphasis is on realistic goals and kinder self-understanding over time.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. The counsellor listens closely, reflects feelings and helps the person say what matters. This approach suits people who want a gentle, non-directive space to talk about stress, depression or relationship worries.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, looks at emotional patterns and how they shape relationships and behaviour. It helps when strong emotions repeat or feel overwhelming, such as grief, anger or anxiety. EFT aims to help people name and work through those feelings so they cause less distress.

Deciding which approach fits best is a shared task. Natalie will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. That means trying things out in sessions and adjusting the focus as progress is made.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or want ongoing, brief support between longer sessions.

These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel. Registered and accredited professionals can use these formats to deliver consistent therapeutic work over time.
