About Natalie
Natalie Atandare is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with ten years' professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and career-related decisions. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma, addictions and challenges around intimacy and parenting.
Natalie uses clear, practical methods to help people notice patterns in thought and behaviour that keep problems going. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside client-centred and solution-focused approaches to structure sessions and set short-term goals. This often involves identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying small behavioural experiments and reviewing what works.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused. Natalie listens and helps clients set realistic steps they can try between sessions. She encourages regular review so the plan can change as needs shift.
Her work also pays attention to broader themes such as attachment, communication problems and feelings of emptiness or guilt. She can address body image concerns, blended family dynamics and issues tied to illness such as cancer.
Natalie notes that coaching-style conversations are sometimes useful alongside therapy when people want practical problem-solving. She asks people to reflect on progress and adjusts pace according to the client’s needs. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and an initial appointment are used to agree goals and next steps.
How her approaches guide online sessions
CBT helps people spot patterns in thinking and behaviour and then try small experiments to change them; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress. Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can clarify their priorities and make choices about next steps. Existential ideas can be used briefly to look at meaning and values when people face big life questions or change.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Natalie will work with the client to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, and she will review what is helping as sessions progress. That collaboration helps shape session structure and homework between meetings.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time and remove the need to be on camera for every meeting. Registered or accredited professionals can use these practical benefits to help sessions fit into everyday life without changing the focus of the therapeutic work.
