About Natalie

Natalie Bunker is a counsellor registered with NCPS with seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and anger. Natalie offers practical support for life changes and relationship concerns.

Natalie uses straightforward conversations to help people notice patterns that cause repeated distress. She mixes Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) tools to address thoughts, feelings and behaviours that feed into problems such as panic, sleep disruption, low self-esteem and workplace strain. Sessions are meant to be work-focused and clear about small steps that reduce immediate pressure.

She also has experience supporting people with parenting stresses, adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, and problems tied to eating or substance habits like smoking and vaping. Concerns such as infidelity, obsessive-compulsive behaviours, polyamory or non-monogamous relationship questions are within her remit.

Natalie describes a respectful approach in sessions, and she aims to listen without judgement while helping clients plan practical coping strategies. Therapy includes talking through recent events, spotting unhelpful thinking styles, and practising alternative responses to strong emotions.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Natalie uses client-centred and CBT approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says. The therapist offers acceptance and attention while the client leads the topic. This approach helps when someone needs to be heard about difficult events like loss, trauma or relationship strain.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT involves spotting unhelpful thoughts, testing them and trying different behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, panic, low mood, sleep problems and anger reactions.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Natalie will discuss goals and preferences with the client and suggest which methods to try. The process is collaborative and can change as progress is made or new issues arise.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when needed. They can also be adapted so some meetings focus on exercises and worksheets while others are longer conversations.
