Natalie Atandare

Natalie Atandare is a BACP counsellor with ten years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She works in a calm, respectful way and aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person's needs. Natalie frames therapy as a partnership and focuses on helping clients find clearer motivation and steadier confidence.

She offers straightforward, compassionate support for a wide range of concerns including relationship worries, grief, addiction-related struggles, trauma and anger. Natalie also addresses career pressures, eating and body image concerns, parenting challenges and the emotional effects of illness. Her practice covers many situations where day-to-day coping feels hard.

Natalie uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs. She draws on client-centred work to keep the person’s experience central. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help with patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain distress. Solution-focused ideas are used to build practical steps and small changes that move things forward.

Sessions are shaped around what a client wants to achieve, with space to reflect on setbacks and plan next steps. Natalie aims to help people grow from difficult experiences and reduce overwhelming feelings. She encourages realistic goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

People who come to her can expect gentle challenge alongside practical tools. The emphasis is on helping clients move toward more calm, better self-belief and clearer choices in everyday life.

How Natalie’s approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens closely, reflects what matters to the client and helps them find their own solutions; this works well for issues such as low self-esteem, grief and relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. Small practical exercises and thought records can help change unhelpful patterns and are often useful for anxiety, anger and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Natalie will discuss goals and preferences and together with the client choose methods that suit their needs. That collaborative process helps match practical tools to what each person wants to achieve.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online counselling can help fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing sessions during a lunch break, or offering shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it easier to use written exercises between meetings and to review progress in a flexible way.
