Natalie AtandareBACP

Natalie Atandare is a counsellor who uses a person-focused way of working. She draws on Client-Centred principles to listen and respond to each person. Her approach is warm and respectful and aims to help people find clearer thinking and steadier emotions.

She has ten years of experience working in the United Kingdom and supports people with stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She also helps with relationships, grief, career concerns, addictions and parenting strain. Natalie pays attention to problems that often sit beneath those issues, such as attachment, communication and body image.

Sessions begin with a conversation about what matters most to the person. Natalie tailors the sessions to individual needs and adjusts the plan as progress is made. She uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside reflective work to help with thought patterns and everyday coping.

People often come for help with life changes, anger, sleep-disrupting worries or feelings of isolation. Natalie also offers support around intimacy-related worries, eating concerns and compassion fatigue for those in caring roles. Her work aims to bring small, manageable changes rather than quick fixes.

Natalie describes the therapy process as a partnership. She listens, offers honest feedback and helps people set realistic goals. The intention is to help people build greater calm, stronger self-belief and clearer direction as they move forward.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of each session. The counsellor offers empathetic listening and reflects back what matters most, helping clients make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach can be helpful for people feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about next steps.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses straightforward exercises and skill-building to reduce anxiety, improve mood and change unhelpful patterns. This is useful for worries, low mood and problems like overeating or sleep disruption.

Existential and solution-focused ideas are also woven in when relevant, to explore meaning and set short-term goals that make daily life easier. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work, and the therapist will help decide what fits best for each person based on their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as progress is seen.

For practical arrangements, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare and travel, and it can reduce time spent commuting. It also allows for shorter check-ins when people need brief support between longer sessions. Ask about current options to choose what will work best for everyday life.
