About Natalie

Natalie Leslie is a BACP counsellor who uses a person-centred way of working. She offers calm, non-judgemental support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief and other difficult feelings. Her approach aims to help people feel heard and understood as they take steps towards change.

Natalie helps with a wide range of life problems. This includes depression, coping with life changes, parenting stresses, relationship and family issues, and career concerns. She also works with grief related to serious illness, bereavement and hospice and end-of-life counselling concerns.

In sessions she focuses on listening, reflecting feelings, and helping people find what matters to them. Conversations are paced to the individual so people can explore emotions without pressure. The aim is to strengthen self-understanding and coping, not to rush solutions.

Her practice draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside a person-centred foundation. This combination is useful for people who struggle with intense emotions, shame, loneliness, or compassion fatigue. It is also used when deeper emotional processing is needed after loss or life transitions.

Natalie has three years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom and works in English. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How person-centred and emotion-focused work translates online

Natalie blends person-centred counselling with emotionally-focused work. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening closely, reflecting what a person is feeling, and supporting their ability to make choices and find their own solutions. This suits people who need a steady, non-judgemental place to talk about stress, low mood or life changes.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify, sit with and work through strong feelings. It is often used when grief, shame, loneliness or relationship distress are central concerns. The emphasis is on helping emotions become clearer so people can move through them rather than avoid them.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will discuss approaches with the client and agree a plan that fits their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around everyday life and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule short check-ins or regular appointments during busy weeks. Please confirm current session options and formats with the service before booking so you know what is available.
