Natalie Benjamin , BACP

Natalie Benjamin is a registered and accredited therapist with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She offers a range of psychological interventions tailored to different life situations, cultural backgrounds, and personal experiences, and she approaches each client with respect, sensitivity, and empathy.

Natalie practices in a client-centered way, updating her continuing professional development (CPD) regularly to ensure her skills remain current. She has developed extensive experience working with special educational needs and has recently refreshed her training in supporting people with autism and ADHD. Her practice is informed by this background, enabling her to adapt therapeutic work to varied cognitive and sensory needs.

She supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, low motivation, challenges with self-esteem and confidence, depression, and difficulties with concentration or memory. Sessions are designed to be personalised, with therapeutic plans shaped to meet each person’s unique circumstances and goals. Natalie encourages and acknowledges the courage involved in seeking help, and she aims to create a safe, respectful space where clients can begin to explore change and build resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and priorities, offering empathic, non-directive support that helps people explore feelings, build self-esteem, and find their own solutions to stress, grief, and low mood. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that develop from past experiences and relationships, helping clients gain insight into recurring difficulties such as relationship issues, shame, or long-standing low mood by exploring underlying emotions and life narratives. Solution-Focused Therapy is practical and goal-oriented, concentrating on small, achievable changes and coping strategies that can reduce anxiety, increase motivation, and improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Natalie works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative stance draws on established techniques used by licensed professionals and therapists, adapting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls or phone appointments, or conducted via live chat and text-based messaging when that format is a better fit. These options make it easier to access ongoing support around work, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility constraints, while helping clients maintain continuity of care and fit therapy into their daily lives.
