Natalie Young , BACP

Natalie Young works with people who notice the same patterns and behaviours repeating in their lives and who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. She creates a space to explore the roots of those patterns and to identify the blind spots and shadow parts that can limit personal growth. Using a person-centred stance, Natalie prioritises the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for gentle, creative exploration that supports change and renewed connection with self and others.

Natalie helps clients uncover emotions and traits that have been hidden due to shame or conditioning, while also inviting the parts of the self that long to be seen and heard. Her approach aims to make therapy challenging without being despairing, offering a dynamic process that fosters self-understanding, compassion, and practical insight. Clients seeking stronger relationships, relief from anxiety or stress, or clearer direction through life changes will find sessions shaped around their needs.

She holds BACP accreditation, which indicates recognition by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and adherence to professional standards in the United Kingdom. With an emphasis on strengthening the relationship with oneself and understanding why patterns repeat, Natalie supports clients to embrace change with increased resilience and self-compassion.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking meaningful action, which can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy concentrates on patterns in close relationships and how early attachment experiences shape current connection and trust. This approach is well suited for relationship difficulties, abandonment issues, and attachment-related concerns. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises empathy, unconditional positive regard, and collaboration; it supports self-exploration and the development of greater self-compassion and authenticity, which can assist with self-esteem, grief, and identity questions.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Natalie will work with each client to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adapting methods as the work evolves so the therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit appointments around work, family, and travel. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, accessible support so clients can continue therapeutic work from different locations and at convenient times.
