About Natalie

Natalie Leslie is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, grief and a wide range of life changes. Natalie also supports concerns such as parenting stress, relationship and family worries, sleeping problems, anger and low self-esteem.

She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centred ideas to help people name and make sense of difficult emotions. Sessions focus on what feels most pressing in the moment and on understanding underlying patterns that keep problems repeating. Conversations are direct and practical, aimed at increasing emotional awareness and clearer communication.

Natalie has worked within NHS Talking Therapies and has specialist training in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling for Depression. That background means she draws on emotion-focused methods that can suit people struggling with overwhelm, low mood or recurrent anxiety. She balances listening with gentle guidance to help people process grief and loss.

Typical sessions address day-to-day coping, difficult conversations, and longer-term concerns such as chronic illness or midlife transitions. She also helps with issues linked to fertility, bereavement, codependency and feelings of isolation. The emphasis is on practical steps that reduce distress and improve understanding of one’s emotional responses.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions operate through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Emotion-Focused and Person-Centred Work Online

Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people pay attention to and make sense of strong feelings. It is often used when emotions are hard to name or when relationship patterns leave someone feeling stuck. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and offers a respectful, non-directive way of talking things through.

Natalie will work with clients to find the best approach together. That means discussing goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapting sessions as understanding grows. The process is collaborative and aims to match method to need rather than forcing one single way of working.

Practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Online sessions can be useful when quieter surroundings are needed, when shorter check-ins suit the day, or when travel would make attendance difficult. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can offer a range of session rhythms and arrangements to fit everyday life.
