Natasha Kelly, BACP

Natasha Kelly is a counsellor and former primary school teacher who combines gentle listening with practical tools. She holds BACP registration, and brings three years of counselling experience to conversations about stress, anxiety and life changes.

She writes about mental health for a range of websites and has worked in the NHS, charity organisations and independent practice. That mix has exposed her to many common problems people face, from low mood and worry to sleep disruption and difficulty with relationships.

Naturally warm and straightforward, she uses approaches that centre the person and their goals. Sessions include talking through unhelpful thought patterns, practising mindfulness strategies and using therapeutic conversation to uncover clearer choices. Hypnotherapy may be offered as a way to address habits or sleep issues when appropriate.

Natasha also focuses on relationship concerns and intimacy-related issues, drawing on Imago relationship ideas to help people improve communication and connection. Career worries, compassion fatigue, caregiver stress and questions about life purpose are also within her scope.

Her background in teaching means she is used to explaining things simply and pacing sessions for busy lives. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To start, clients follow the service process to match and schedule sessions with her.

How Natasha’s approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience first. The counsellor listens and follows what matters to the client, helping them find their own solutions. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It often includes simple exercises and practical strategies for sleep, worry and stress management.

Mindfulness Therapy uses short, focused practices to build awareness and reduce reactivity. That can help with anxiety, compassion fatigue and difficulties with concentration.

Finding the right fit is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options with the client and agree which approach, or blend of approaches, feels most helpful. This happens collaboratively, based on goals, preferences and the problems being brought to sessions.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments or offering sessions when someone is based further away. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor exercises and pacing so therapy fits practical constraints and personal goals.
