About Natalie

Natalie Leslie is a BACP counsellor who uses person-centred and emotion-focused ways of working. She aims to help people who are feeling anxious, low in mood, overwhelmed by grief, or struggling with sleep. Natalie writes plainly and listens carefully so people can talk through what matters to them.

Natalie creates a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be named without judgement. She supports clients to notice emotions and to make sense of painful experiences. Conversations are paced to each person, so practical steps and emotional work happen together.

Her background includes work in NHS talking therapies alongside community counselling. That experience has given her a clear focus on depression, anxiety, bereavement, and stress. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting pressures, career changes, and problems linked to chronic illness and ageing.

Natalie describes her practice as collaborative. She helps people reflect on patterns, build understanding, and try small changes that fit into daily life. Sleep and rest difficulties are among the concerns she addresses through conversational and emotionally-focused work.

She holds the BACP credential, which is listed here as provided. Sessions are offered in English and take a straightforward, down-to-earth approach. To start, someone completes the short matching questionnaire and books a session that suits them.

How Natalie uses person-centred and emotion-focused methods online

Client-Centred Therapy is about being listened to without judgement and being helped to find your own answers. It focuses on what you want to change and supports you to make those choices. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand and name their emotions and how those feelings affect relationships and daily life; it can be useful for anxiety, depression and grief.

Finding the right approach is something to do together. Natalie will talk with you about your goals and preferences and suggest what might suit you best. The plan can change as you progress so the work stays relevant to your needs.

The original profile does not list specific online session types, so check the available formats before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, childcare and travel, or better for quieter shorter check-ins. Online work can let you keep continuity when life gets busy and can make it simpler to schedule regular sessions that support sleep, mood and coping.
