About Natalie
Natalie Janinski is an ACA counsellor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety and related stress. She draws on her own lived experience to offer practical, experience-led therapy that aims to reduce painful symptoms and restore everyday functioning. Natalie writes in plain terms and prefers hands-on techniques that can produce noticeable shifts in a shorter time frame.
She uses experiential approaches that work with how the brain stores memories and emotions.
Background and approach
These methods aim to reduce the hold of traumatic memories and lower the intensity of symptoms like anxiety, people-pleasing and self-sabotage. Natalie also includes somatic techniques such as gentle movement, breathwork and polyvagal-informed exercises to help the body settle. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person in front of her.
Natalie encourages people to follow their instincts about fit and to ask questions before committing to work together. She is comfortable explaining what will happen in a session and what to expect as work proceeds. Her practice suits people dealing with relationship strain, family problems, anger and the after-effects of trauma and abuse.
She also supports people facing issues such as attachment wounds, codependency, dissociation, eating-related difficulties and feelings of emptiness or guilt. Natalie has three years of clinical experience and works with a range of evidence-based experiential and body-focused tools. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Experiential and Somatic Approaches Used Online
Natalie draws primarily on experiential memory-focused methods that target how difficult memories are held in the body and mind. These approaches invite guided experience in session to help update old emotional responses and can reduce symptoms such as anxiety and self-sabotage.She also integrates somatic practices such as yoga-informed movement, breathwork and polyvagal techniques. These tools help people notice bodily signals, learn calming strategies and build tolerance for strong emotions without relying only on talk.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Natalie will work with clients to choose methods that suit their goals, needs and comfort level, and will adjust techniques as progress is made. The process usually involves trying things in session and discussing what felt helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat and text messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow for guided movement and richer communication, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family and other commitments.
