Natalie Leslie
A person-centred counsellor who listens
About Natalie
Natalie Leslie uses a person-centred approach that puts the client's experience at the heart of sessions. She aims to make talking about difficult feelings straightforward and compassionate. Natalie works to build a calm space where people can say what they need to say and begin to make small changes that feel manageable.
She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centred principles to help people understand and regulate strong emotions. That combination is often chosen by people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, or major life changes.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on noticing emotions, naming them, and practising different ways of responding in everyday life. Natalie has three years' experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. She has also worked as an NHS Talking Therapies counsellor and uses approaches suited to emotional distress and low mood.
That background shapes how she plans sessions and the kinds of techniques she offers. Her practice covers common concerns such as stress, sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career strain, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with relationship and family issues, fertility and end-of-life matters, chronic illness, and bereavement.
The focus is on helping each person find clearer ways to cope and feel more in control. Natalie offers sessions in English and sees clients in the United Kingdom. Therapy is delivered online by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How person-centred and emotion-focused work fits online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience first and aims to create an accepting space where someone can speak freely and be heard. It helps with low mood, self-esteem and navigating life changes by focusing on what matters to the individual.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at strong feelings and how they shape thoughts and behaviour. It helps people notice patterns in their emotions, name what they are feeling, and try new responses when emotions become overwhelming. This can be useful for anxiety, grief and struggles with connection to oneself.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, discuss what feels most helpful, and adapt methods as sessions progress. That collaborative planning means therapy can change with what the person needs over time.
Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer more flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or times when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family commitments and daily life.
