About Natalie
Natalie Leslie is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief and life changes, and supports concerns including parenting, relationships and codependency. Sessions focus on listening and exploring feelings so clients can better understand themselves and their reactions.
Natalie uses person-centred work as a foundation. That means she prioritises how each person experiences their feelings and thoughts, and follows the client’s lead in sessions. She also draws on emotionally-focused methods to help people notice and work with strong emotions when those feelings feel overwhelming.
In practical terms she offers a calm, non-judgemental space where someone can talk about loss, stress, sleeping problems, low self-esteem or career worries. She helps people name difficult emotions, and considers how those emotions affect relationships and daily life. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at making feelings easier to understand.
Natalie has additional experience supporting people who face chronic illness, fertility or end-of-life concerns, abandonment or isolation. Those areas are approached alongside core issues like anger, guilt, shame and compassion fatigue. Her background includes work in NHS talking therapies and person-centred experiential counselling for depression.
People who come to her tend to want clearer boundaries and better emotional awareness. Natalie works with each person to identify small, practical steps and to build more reliable ways of coping. To begin, clients are usually asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches work for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding how you see things. The therapist follows your lead and helps you name thoughts and emotions so you can respond to them more clearly. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at strong emotions and how they show up in relationships and daily life. EFT helps people notice patterns in feelings and work through emotions that feel stuck.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Natalie will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Together you can review what feels most helpful and adapt the approach as work progresses.
Check the available session options before booking to confirm formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments, and may suit people who prefer not to travel. They can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or offer quieter sessions that do not require being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can often adapt pacing and techniques to suit online work, helping you practise boundary setting, emotional awareness and coping strategies in day-to-day life.
