Natalie Young , BACP

Natalie Young offers a thoughtful, person-centred approach for people who feel stuck in repeating patterns or find daily life increasingly overwhelming. She works with individuals who feel numb, confused, or unsure where to begin, guiding them toward clarity and renewed direction through reflective, compassionate dialogue.

Using a collaborative therapeutic relationship, Natalie helps clients explore the aspects of themselves that can hold them back - the blind spots that limit growth and the shadow parts that have been kept hidden by shame or conditioning. Her practice draws on person-centred principles to create space for self-discovery, and she integrates attachment-focused work to address relational patterns and long-standing wounds.

With five years of experience and a credential from BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the UK professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists - Natalie supports people who want to rejuvenate their relationships with others and, most importantly, with themselves. She aims to make therapy challenging but not relentlessly grim, helping clients develop compassion, resilience, and practical ways to understand recurring patterns and embrace change.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a non-judgmental space where the person is heard and respected. It helps people explore their feelings and values at their own pace and is useful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and identity concerns.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns in close connections. It helps people understand fears around abandonment, difficulties with trust, and recurring relationship dynamics so they can build healthier bonds.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills for living in line with personal values while accepting difficult thoughts and emotions. It can be helpful for stress, anxiety, compulsive behaviours, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Natalie will work collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods over time as understanding deepens and priorities change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone, and options for live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into daily life. These formats allow access to licensed professionals without the need to travel, making it simpler to maintain continuity of care around work, family, and other commitments.
