Natalie Mccarthy, BACP

Natalie Mccarthy is a counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the BACP with four years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, and issues around intimacy and identity. Natalie also lists codependency among her additional focus areas. She holds sessions in English and uses a conversational, direct style in sessions.

Natalie frames her work around understanding how people develop patterns in relationships. She pays attention to attachment and how past connections affect present choices. In-session, she listens, reflects, and sometimes offers alternative ways to think or act when old patterns cause harm.

The methods she draws on include attachment-based work, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy. That mix helps with practical problems like anxiety, low mood, compulsive people-pleasing, and difficulty setting boundaries. She also uses existential ideas to talk about meaning and choices when life feels stuck.

Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now and how it connects to earlier experiences. Natalie can help people notice repeating relationship habits, practise new responses, and build clearer personal limits. She also supports people dealing with grief, caregiver stress, long-term illness, or the emotional impact of trauma.

Her approach is straightforward and conversational. People can expect a balance of listening and challenge, with practical steps to try between sessions. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial appointment via the platform.
