About Natalie
Natalie Mccarthy is a counsellor and psychotherapist working in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and brings four years of clinical experience to her practice. Natalie aims to tailor sessions to each person rather than use a single formula.
She focuses on helping people feel understood and accepted as they work through difficult issues. Natalie keeps therapy straightforward and down to earth.
Background and approach
Sessions are calm and conversational, with space to talk and be heard. She balances patience with gentle challenge to help people move past stuck patterns and painful memories. Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and issues around gender and sexuality.
She also supports people facing career stress, body image and eating concerns, bipolar difficulties, ADHD, and chronic health challenges. Natalie draws on several approaches to suit the person in front of her. She uses attachment-based ideas to understand close relationships, client-centred listening to follow a person’s priorities, and cognitive work to spot unhelpful thinking patterns.
She also uses skills from dialectical behaviour work and existential ideas about meaning when these fit the situation. People who come to Natalie often want practical ways to cope alongside reflective conversation. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so people can choose the format that works for them.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships. It can help people understand patterns in close relationships and why they react strongly in some situations. Client-centred therapy focuses on warm, non-judgemental listening and follows the person’s priorities to build self-understanding and acceptance. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours so people can try different ways of coping.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to what matters most, try out methods, and adjust the focus based on the person's goals and responses. That means sessions can blend different ideas until a helpful mix is found.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, ongoing support, or people who find writing easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family demands, or busy weeks while keeping the therapeutic focus on coping and change.
