About

About Natalie

Natalie Leslie is a counsellor who works in a person-centred way. She uses warm, respectful listening to help people untangle difficult emotions. Her approach is straightforward and people-focused, aimed at practical steps for everyday life.

Natalie helps with stress, anxiety and depression. She supports people coping with grief, loss and major life changes. Parenting concerns are also part of her work, alongside relationship and family difficulties.

She draws on emotion-focused ideas to help people name and feel what is hard to say.

Background and approach

Sessions centre on understanding feelings and finding ways to respond differently. Natalie encourages small changes that add up over time. Natalie holds BACP, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

She has three years of experience working with a range of concerns including sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. Practical matters such as work stress, career crossroads and illness or chronic pain are also within her remit. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through worries and try new ways of coping.

The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How Natalie’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and acceptance. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflecting what they say and helping them feel heard. This approach can help with low mood, self-esteem and everyday parenting stress.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and sit with strong feelings. It supports understanding where emotions come from and finding new ways to respond. EFT is often used for anxiety, grief and relationship-related distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Natalie will discuss your needs and goals and try out methods that fit your preferences. That way the direction of therapy is shaped by what feels most helpful to you.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes arranging appointments easier around busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are handy when bandwidth is limited, short text check-ins can fit into a work break, and live chat or messaging suits quick reflections between sessions. These options help people access therapy with more flexibility and continuity.
