Natasha Walker, BACP

Natasha Walker works from a person-centred foundation and blends other approaches to suit each person she meets. She makes empathy and unconditional positive regard central to sessions. Natasha aims to create a calm space where people can set their own goals and move at their own pace. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP.

Her core way of working is person-centred, which she uses to build trusting relationships. Over six years she has added other approaches so she can match methods to individual needs. That means sessions can include practical strategies or deeper emotional work depending on what someone wants.

Natasha has worked in centres, schools and online and by telephone alongside independent practice. She says the first session is often the hardest step and follows the client’s lead when setting goals. Sessions aim to focus on what matters most to the person in front of her.

She commonly helps people with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. Other areas she works with include grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting pressures, career issues and ADHD.

Her additional focus areas include attachment issues, body image, chronic pain or illness, codependency, divorce and separation, and caregiver stress. Natasha describes her approach as tailored and collaborative, adapting dialogue and plans to each person’s situation.

Seeking help can feel difficult, and she stresses it takes courage to begin. Natasha offers supportive, non-judgemental guidance aimed at helping people make practical changes and feel heard.

How Natasha’s approaches translate to online therapy

Natasha draws on person-centred work alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following what matters to the person in front of her to build trust and clarity. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link, and helps people try small, practical changes to feel different. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding emotions in relationships and improving emotional connection and communication.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Natasha will talk with each person about their situation, goals and preferences, then suggest ways of working. Together they agree steps and adjust methods as needed over time.

Her biography notes she has provided online and telephone work in the past, but current session formats should be confirmed before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and can reduce travel time. Telephone sessions can be useful for shorter check-ins or when video is impractical. Registered or accredited professionals can offer the same therapeutic work remotely, while tailoring pace and tools to each person’s daily life.
