About Natasha
Natasha Hughes is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has 15 years' experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and mood concerns among other issues. Natasha lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas and supports people across a wide range of life challenges.
Natasha draws on client-centred methods to make sessions collaborative and respectful of the person in front of her. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to look at how thoughts affect feelings and behaviour. For people carrying trauma, she offers EMDR as one of the ways to address distress linked to past events.
Her work includes practical discussion of coping strategies, communication problems and patterns that keep difficult feelings going. She also addresses issues such as addiction, eating concerns, ADHD, body image and relationship patterns like codependency and commitment worries. Sessions often involve talking through present struggles and trying different ways of responding to them.
Natasha has experience supporting people from varied backgrounds and different sexual orientations and genders. She will help people consider what matters most to them and which ways of working fit best. Her experience includes loss and bereavement, domestic violence, substance issues, and longer-term mood conditions.
To start, people are usually invited to complete a short questionnaire and book a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
How her approaches are used in online therapy
Natasha combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural therapy and EMDR as core ways to address difficult feelings and memories. Client-centred work focuses on what matters to the person and values their perspective; it helps clarify goals and priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and is useful for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful coping patterns. EMDR is offered for people dealing with trauma and involves guided processing of distressing memories to reduce their intensity.Choosing which approach to use is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and collaboratively decide which methods to try first. That conversation can include whether to use more talking-based CBT tools, a client-centred conversation, or to introduce EMDR when appropriate.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and registered or accredited professionals often find remote sessions help people maintain continuity of care and keep therapy practical within everyday life.
