About Natasha
Natasha Cunningham is a counsellor and psychotherapist and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works with adults and young people aged 11 and over. Her style is practical and straightforward, aimed at helping people manage anxiety, stress and other immediate problems.
Naturally direct issues like sleeping problems, low mood and anger come up in sessions. Natasha also helps people who are dealing with grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, addiction or parenting strain.
Background and approach
She keeps language simple so conversations feel easy to follow on a phone or in a short break. Her background spans voluntary, statutory and personal services. Natasha has spent a number of years supporting people in higher education counselling services and has also worked in schools, colleges and child and adolescent mental health settings.
That mix gives her experience with both one-to-one and group work. Naturally integrative in approach, she draws on client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking as they suit the person in front of her. Sessions can be short-term, time-limited or longer term depending on need.
Natasha aims to build a steady working relationship and then focus on practical steps for change. She trained in psychology with a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Psychology and completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. Natasha uses that range of training to tailor the way she talks and works to each person's situation.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Client-centred work places the person at the heart of the conversation and focuses on listening, understanding and reflecting back what matters most. This approach helps people feel heard and guides the conversation around their priorities.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful habits. It is often used for anxiety, stress and sleeping difficulties because it provides clear steps people can practise between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify goals and test methods that fit the person's needs and preferences. That may mean trying a short block of CBT techniques, then shifting to more reflective psychodynamic work if that better suits the issue.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a full face-to-face feel, phone sessions need less bandwidth and suit shorter check-ins, and messaging can be handy for ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around study, work and family life and help people stay consistent with appointments.
