About Natalie
Natalie Leslie is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, grief, parenting pressures and other life stresses. Natalie lists social anxiety and phobia among the kinds of concerns she helps with.
Natalie uses a person-centred style that focuses on the client's own perspective and priorities. In sessions she listens closely and follows what matters most to the individual. She combines this with emotionally-focused ideas to help people access and make sense of strong feelings.
Clients can expect straightforward conversations about current problems and the feelings tied to them. Natalie aims to help people name difficult emotions and see how these affect everyday choices. She also works on practical coping strategies for sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem and stress.
Her background includes BACP registration and experience in talking therapies within UK services. That experience informs how she plans sessions and supports people through change. Natalie notes that the approaches she uses can be an alternative to more cognitive methods, especially when emotions feel overwhelming.
People who come with relationship or family concerns will find a focus on communication and emotional patterns. She also lists additional focus areas such as chronic illness, bereavement, fertility issues, and midlife transitions. For those wanting to begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's own view at the centre. The therapist listens and follows what the client brings, helping them to clarify needs and priorities. This approach suits people who want a reflective, paced conversation about current problems and feelings.Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify, name and work with strong emotions. It aims to shift patterns that keep negative feelings stuck and can be useful for anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. Sessions focus on feeling alongside talking, and on noticing how emotions shape behaviour.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree together which methods to try, based on the client's goals and preferences. This collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made.
Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel. It can also allow a quieter check-in without needing to be on camera for the whole time. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to maintain continuity of care and to reduce travel time.
