Natalie Atandare, BACP

Natalie Atandare offers a warm, person-centred style of counselling. She uses the client at the centre of conversations to build understanding, calm and progress. Natalie brings a decade of experience to sessions and works to tailor support to each person’s situation and goals.

She focuses on practical issues such as stress, anxiety and low self‑esteem. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, grief, anger and problems tied to work and career. Addictions, ADHD and compassion fatigue are among other areas she supports people with.

Natalie draws on several approaches to shape her work. Client-Centred Therapy helps people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set concrete, realistic steps for change.

Sessions are conversational and goal‑oriented without losing sensitivity to personal history. Natalie aims to co‑create a plan that fits the person in front of her, not a one-size-fits-all programme. The emphasis is on steady progress and practical techniques that can be used between meetings.

She values respect, sensitivity and compassion in every session. Taking the first step can be hard, and Natalie aims to provide calm, steady support while people reflect on where they want to go. If someone wants to explore change at their own pace, she works alongside them through that process.

How Natalie uses talking therapies online

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience first. It involves listening carefully and reflecting what matters to the individual. This approach helps when someone needs understanding, emotional support and a chance to make sense of their feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change thinking and behaviour, and can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Natalie will discuss options and decide together which mix of styles fits a person’s needs, goals and preferences. The choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and maintain steady contact. Please confirm the specific session formats offered before booking, as those details vary. Many people find remote sessions helpful for shorter check-ins, reducing travel time, and fitting therapy into a lunch break or evening. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to deliver the same conversational and practical techniques they would in person, adapted to each person’s situation.
