About Natalie
Natalie Mccarthy is a counsellor and psychotherapist working in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP as a listed credential and has four years of professional experience. Natalie describes her practice as integrative, drawing on different counselling approaches to match each person she meets.
Natalie aims to help people reconnect with what makes them unique. She works in a direct but grounded way, offering steadiness alongside gentle challenge when it helps move things forward. Sessions are presented as a space where people can feel heard and respected.
Her caseload has included people dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, addiction and issues around gender identity and sexuality. She also supports people facing grief, long-term illness such as cancer, eating concerns, sleeping difficulties and relationship stresses. Natalie's listed specialities include stress, parenting, ADHD and compassion fatigue among many others.
In practice she uses methods drawn from attachment-based work, client-centred approaches, cognitive behavioural ideas, dialectical behaviour techniques and existential perspectives. She adapts these to what each person needs rather than using a single fixed model. The focus is on practical, understandable steps people can try between sessions.
People who want a straightforward, down-to-earth counsellor may find her style helpful. She asks people to choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.
How Natalie’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behaviour. It helps people who struggle with trust, closeness or patterns that repeat in relationships by looking at early and current relational experiences. Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the session and relies on listening, acceptance and supporting someone to find their own answers. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers clear strategies to try when anxiety, low mood or sleep problems are getting in the way.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Natalie will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before, then suggest ways of working that fit those needs. That collaborative process helps shape which techniques and topics come up in sessions.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, or remove travel time so it is simpler to prioritise care. Online work can also make it easier to keep continuity when life changes, and it allows the therapist and client to focus on practical skills for sleep, emotion regulation and coping without needing in-person attendance. Confirm the available session options when you book so you know what will work for you.
