About Natelie

Natelie Henriques is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, low self-esteem and depression. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and on practical next steps they can try between meetings.

Natelie uses a client-centred way of working that puts the person's own goals and experience at the centre of each session. She combines this with elements from Jungian ideas and mindfulness to help people notice patterns in their feelings and everyday responses. Conversations are straightforward and grounded in the person's lived experience.

In sessions she helps people talk through relationship struggles, communication problems and codependency patterns such as people-pleasing or difficulty saying no. She also supports those who are coping with attachment wounds, abandonment fears, or the impact of past abuse and domestic violence. Practical tools and short experiments are used alongside reflective discussion.

Natelie has worked with people affected by substance use and by dissociation, and she is familiar with challenges linked to autism and avoidant or dependent personality patterns. Her work often centres on building clearer boundaries, improving motivation, and strengthening self-worth.

To start, she asks people to identify a few priorities for change and then works collaboratively to test small changes that fit day-to-day life.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centred therapy places your priorities first and focuses on your own goals and experiences. Online sessions using this approach mean the conversation is guided by what you want to address and by practical ways to test changes between meetings.

Mindfulness in therapy helps people notice bodily sensations and recurring thoughts without getting caught up in them. Delivered remotely, mindfulness exercises can be practised in short segments during a session and repeated afterwards to build steadier responses to stress and anxiety.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to choose which methods to try based on the person's goals and preferences. This is collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all, with adjustments made if something does not feel helpful.

Please confirm the current session formats before booking so you know whether meetings are by video, phone or another option. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time, helping people keep momentum while they try new ways of relating and setting boundaries.
