Natalie Leslie , BACP

Natalie Leslie is a fully qualified, BACP-registered person-centred counsellor who supports people working through depression, anxiety, grief and a wide range of life challenges. She creates an open, nonjudgemental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace, and she emphasizes collaboration and empowerment as people take steps toward greater wellbeing.

Natalie is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and is also an accredited NHS Talking Therapies counsellor. She has specialist training in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling for Depression (PCE-CFD), a model that blends person-centred and emotion-focused approaches. This training informs her work with clients who are experiencing low mood, emotional overwhelm, anxiety or depression, offering an alternative to approaches that focus primarily on thoughts or behaviour.

Working alongside clients, Natalie helps them better understand their emotions and the patterns that contribute to their difficulties. She aims to support and empower individuals through practical and emotionally attuned care, helping them reconnect with themselves and move toward a more fulfilling, balanced life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on offering a supportive, empathetic environment in which clients lead the pace and focus of their own work; it helps people explore their feelings, increase self-understanding, and develop inner resources for coping. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and working with core emotions and attachment needs, which can be helpful for clients dealing with relationship difficulties, grief, or emotional overwhelm.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Natalie works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to identify which methods best fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the process as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions may take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing therapy to fit around work, family, or health commitments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access support from home or other convenient locations, while working with a therapist trained in person-centred and emotion-focused methods.
