About Natasha
Natasha Walker is a counsellor who begins from a person-centred approach. She places the relationship with each person at the heart of sessions and listens to what matters most to them. Natasha uses empathy and respect to help people feel heard and understood.
She combines her person-centred base with other methods so therapy can be tailored to each person. That flexible style lets her adopt practical ways of working for anxiety, depression, stress and low self-esteem.
Background and approach
Natasha also helps people dealing with grief, trauma and relationship concerns. Her background includes work in community centres, schools and online and telephone settings. She has experience supporting adults, young adults, teens and children alongside her independent practice.
That range informs how she adapts sessions to different ages and stages. Natasha is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and follows ongoing professional development. She explains things simply and works at a pace chosen by the person she is supporting.
Her emphasis is on treating people without stigmatising labels and with compassion. In a first session she focuses on what the person wants to achieve and follows their lead. She can work with a wide variety of concerns including parenting stress, career worries, ADHD-related difficulties and phobias.
Natasha aims to help people make small, practical changes that add up to real difference.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and values and then taking steps that matter. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress by helping people focus on actions that match their priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it suits problems such as phobias, panic and problematic habits. Attachment-Based Therapy concentrates on how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can help with intimacy issues and attachment difficulties.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy and happens together. The therapist will talk about different ways of working and agree a plan that fits the person's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision is reviewed as progress is made so the approach can change when needed.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work, and text or chat can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to use video. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school or family life and to use methods such as ACT exercises or CBT homework between meetings.
