About Natalie
Counsellor Natalie Atandare is a BACP member with 10 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, self-esteem and relationship concerns, and also lists grief, career and addictions among her work areas.
Natalie uses a conversational, client-focused way of working. Sessions begin by listening to what matters most to the person and then setting clear, practical goals. She draws on approaches such as Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice patterns and try out different ways of coping.
She also uses Solution-Focused and Existential ideas to help people consider values, life choices and what they want next. That can be useful when someone faces major change or questions about meaning. Natalie says she adapts sessions to the concerns brought each week rather than following a strict script.
In practice she will work through immediate problems like panic or low mood, and also help people think about longer-term issues such as confidence, attachment or relationship patterns. Conversations often include practical steps you can try between sessions and talking through what worked and what didn’t.
Natalie describes her role as one of steady, respectful input. She encourages clear goals and small, manageable changes. If you are considering counselling in the UK and want a counsellor who mixes practical techniques with reflective discussion, she may be someone to consider.
How these approaches work in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s view. The counsellor reflects what you say and helps you find your own answers. This approach suits people who need time to talk through feelings and make sense of them.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses clear steps and practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. That can help with anxiety, low mood and some relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Natalie will discuss different methods and agree on a plan with each client. The choice is collaborative and can change as needs and goals shift over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, avoid travel and have shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow people to meet from a familiar location and to choose whether to use video or not, depending on what suits their routine.
