About Natalie
Natalie Samuel helps people manage stress, anxiety, mood difficulties and relationship concerns using a mix of talking therapies. She works with issues such as trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, sleep problems and difficulties with intimacy and self‑esteem. Natalie is registered with NCPS and has four years' experience.
Natalie offers practical, conversational therapy. She uses approaches the client can apply between sessions, such as cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavioural patterns. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take manageable steps towards them.
Attachment‑based work is part of her practice when people are dealing with patterns that began in earlier relationships. That work focuses on how past connections influence current relationships and on improving communication and boundaries.
Natalie describes her practice as pluralistic, combining client‑centred listening with methods from ACT, CBT and dialectical behaviour work where useful. Sessions include discussion, practical exercises and strategies for everyday life.
She has particular experience supporting people with parenting stress, blended family challenges, abandonment and attachment issues, eating and body image concerns, alcohol and drug problems, and problems linked to major life changes such as divorce or relocation. Natalie also works with people from LGBT backgrounds and those coping with ADHD symptoms in daily life.
How Natalie uses specific approaches in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people focus on what matters to them and take small, practical steps toward those values while allowing difficult thoughts to be noticed rather than fought. It can help with anxiety, depression and life changes.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and teaches strategies to change them. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and unhelpful habits.
Attachment‑based work considers how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and relationships, aiming to improve communication and reduce repeating difficult patterns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Natalie will discuss goals and preferences with the person and agree a plan that combines techniques from different models when that best meets their needs.
Please confirm the current session options before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑in meetings when needed. It can also allow people to choose telephone or video approaches for less visual intensity or when bandwidth is limited.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
