About Natalie

Natalie Mccarthy works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions and a wide range of other difficulties using approaches she lists such as attachment-based work, client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural methods, DBT and existential thinking. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience in the UK.

Natalie describes herself as an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist. That means she draws on several counselling methods and chooses what to use with each person. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, exploring emotional responses, and identifying practical steps to cope with daily life.

She works with issues including grief, intimacy and sexual concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and career stresses, bipolar and ADHD related difficulties, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas listed include attachment issues, body image, chronic illness and pain, codependency and communication difficulties. These are offered as topics she addresses in her practice.

Natalie aims to listen closely and to challenge difficult subjects when needed. In practice that means a mix of reflective conversation, skills-based exercises and thought work drawn from cognitive behavioural and dialectical approaches. Work that draws on attachment ideas looks at relationship patterns and how these affect current feelings.

People can expect a conversational style that balances emotional exploration with practical steps. Sessions are conducted in English and take place in the United Kingdom. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Attachment-based work focuses on how early and close relationships shape current ways of relating. It looks at patterns in relationships and helps people try different ways of connecting and responding to others, which can help with intimacy and communication issues.

Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the centre of the session. The counsellor listens without judging and follows the person's pace, which can be useful when someone needs space to make sense of feelings or life changes.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) addresses thinking and behaviour patterns that maintain problems. It uses clear exercises and strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety, sleep problems or unhelpful coping behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and current problems and will help agree which methods to try. That collaborative planning can change as sessions progress and new priorities emerge.

Practical benefits of working online can include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week, shorter check-ins when needed, or not having to travel. The biography does not list specific session formats, so check the available options before booking to confirm how sessions will be delivered. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online sessions to offer continuity of care and flexible scheduling.
