About Natasha
Natasha Hughes is a counsellor with 15 years' experience helping people facing anxiety, stress and relationship problems. She works in a direct, warm way and aims to make it easier to talk about tough feelings. Natasha holds BACP accreditation, which she lists as her credential.
She uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. Natasha helps people notice how thoughts influence feelings and day-to-day choices, and she offers practical tools to manage worry and low mood.
Background and approach
She also works with trauma and has experience using EMDR alongside talking-based methods. Natasha often focuses on the immediate problems people bring, such as grief, addiction, parenting pressures or career stress. She also supports people with long‑standing patterns such as attachment issues, codependency, body image concerns or problems with intimacy.
Sessions centre on what matters most to the client now. Her style is attentive and non-judgemental. Natasha aims to create a space where someone can speak openly, try new ways of coping, and notice gradual change.
She combines gentle listening with practical steps to reduce distress. Natasha has worked with a broad range of life challenges, including depression, bipolar symptoms, trauma responses and substance-related issues. She is comfortable discussing sensitive topics such as domestic violence and abandonment and helps people plan next steps that fit their life.
Sessions are offered in English and can be delivered online by video, phone, live chat or messaging. Natasha welcomes clients across the United Kingdom and also accepts international clients.
Approaches that shape online sessions
Natasha blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques to help people manage symptoms and make choices that fit their lives. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and the client’s own goals so sessions follow what the person wants to address. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical exercises to reduce worry or low mood.She also uses EMDR for people who bring traumatic memories that continue to cause distress. EMDR pairs focused attention with structured processing to help lessen the emotional charge of distressing memories and can be useful when trauma symptoms interfere with daily life.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Natasha will discuss different options with each person, try techniques that match their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. The focus is on working together to set clear goals and practical steps that feel manageable.
Online sessions offer flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people meet face to face without travel, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These formats help people reach therapy across distances and time zones and can be scheduled around work, parenting or other commitments.
