About Natalie
Natalie Leslie is a person-centred counsellor who guides people through depression, anxiety and major life changes. She holds BACP registration and frames sessions around listening, empathy and respect. She aims to make the first steps towards change feel manageable and clear.
In sessions she creates an open space for clients to talk about grief, relationship strain, parenting pressures and career concerns. She helps people name difficult feelings like shame, anger or emptiness and look at how those feelings affect daily life.
Background and approach
The work is straightforward and focused on what matters to each person. Her background includes work in NHS talking therapies, and she has specialist training in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling for Depression. That approach blends person-centred care with emotional processing and is used for low mood, anxiety and emotional overwhelm.
Natalie uses those ideas to help people reconnect with themselves. She also supports people facing chronic illness, cancer, fertility and end-of-life concerns, as well as stress from work and compassion fatigue. People seeking help with sleep problems, self-esteem or issues around LGBT identity will find topics she commonly addresses.
Her experience is practical and paced to the client. Natalie has three years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom and works in English. She encourages a collaborative relationship, where goals and next steps are agreed together before moving forward.

How her approaches shape online support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding each person from their own viewpoint. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is said and helps people find their own solutions. This approach is useful for low mood, relationship issues and parenting stress.Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and work through patterns of emotion that cause distress. It supports emotional processing and can be helpful for anxiety, grief and feeling emotionally overwhelmed.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Natalie will talk through your goals and preferences and suggest how person-centred or emotion-focused methods might fit. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels sensible and doable.
Please confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel.
