About Natalie
Natalie Benjamin is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and concentration difficulties. Natalie also lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas.
Natalie uses a client-centred way of working. Sessions focus on what the person brings and on building a straightforward working relationship. She aims to listen, reflect and help people find practical steps they can use between sessions.
Her background includes ongoing professional development and experience supporting people with special educational needs. She has updated training in understanding and supporting people with autism and ADHD and draws on that knowledge when it is relevant to a person's concerns.
Alongside core worries such as panic and mood difficulties, Natalie supports issues like body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and questions about life purpose. She also works with women's issues and concerns about narcissistic behaviour in relationships.
Her approach blends client-centred listening with psychodynamic ideas about past patterns, and solution-focused techniques that identify small, achievable changes. Sessions aim to be practical and to address immediate problems as well as longer-running patterns.
To begin, people are invited to use the site's matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, with cost varying by location.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening to the person's concerns and following their pace; online sessions are used to build that same responsive relationship and identify topics to work on. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns from the past that influence today's feelings and interactions; online meetings can allow reflection on those patterns and how they show up now. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, practical steps and goals; it is often used to create short, achievable actions people can try between sessions.Choosing which approach to use is part of the work. Natalie discusses options with each person and agrees a plan based on their needs, goals and preferences. That planning is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.
Please confirm the exact session formats before booking. The therapist's practice uses a subscription model for sessions and this can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments. Online sessions can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to schedule appointments at times that suit a person's day-to-day life.
