About Natalie
Natalie Harrod is an AASW-accredited social worker with 20 years of professional experience in Australia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, career difficulties, mood disorders and life changes. Natalie also supports those dealing with relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, and concerns such as addiction and ADHD.
Her style is straightforward and people-focused. She uses clear conversation and practical steps rather than jargon. Natalie adapts what happens in sessions to match a person’s situation and goals, and she explains options so people can choose what feels manageable.
Natalie draws on approaches that look at how relationships and life events shape feelings. She uses attachment work to notice patterns in close relationships. She uses cognitive behavioural ideas to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Mindfulness and narrative techniques help people notice how thoughts and stories affect daily life.
Sessions centre on talking through current problems, trying small changes between meetings, and checking what works. Natalie aims for concise, useful plans rather than long lists of tasks. If an issue needs different support, she will discuss other options and referrals.
Practical matters such as scheduling, session length and costs are discussed up front. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and booking a first session so they can see if the approach fits their needs.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can help
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape behaviour and feelings. It helps people who notice repeating patterns in relationships or who find trust and closeness difficult. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and teaches specific skills to change them. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.Choosing an approach is usually collaborative. Natalie will talk with the person about their concerns, goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. The plan can be adjusted as sessions progress so the work fits what the person needs and what feels manageable.
If you want to use online therapy, please confirm the available session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people try approaches such as CBT homework, attachment-focused discussion and mindfulness practice without needing to be in the same location as the therapist. Discuss practical arrangements and scheduling through the matching questionnaire so sessions match everyday life.
