About Natalie
Natalie Harrod is an AASW-accredited social worker with 20 years of professional experience in Australia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, addictions and anger. Natalie also supports those dealing with career challenges, parenting strain and big life changes.
Natalie uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies rather than jargon. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what can be changed. She draws on approaches that help people notice patterns, try small changes, and reflect on the stories they tell about themselves.
Her work includes attachment-based ideas about relationships and Client-Centred ways of working that keep the person in charge of their goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviours. Mindfulness and narrative techniques are used to help people manage strong emotions and make sense of difficult experiences.
Natalie has helped people with family of origin issues, relationship communication problems, control and dependency concerns, body image and issues around abandonment. She also lists experience with domestic violence effects, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue among health and care workers.
She keeps sessions direct and practical. People who want clear steps, a down-to-earth approach, and a focus on changing how they respond to anger and stress may find her approach helpful. To begin, the site matching process is used to schedule a first session and set initial goals.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current reactions. Online sessions can explore how patterns of seeking closeness or pulling away play out in daily life and relationships. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's goals at the centre and uses open conversation to let them steer the work; this helps with anger that feels linked to unmet needs or communication breakdowns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and offers concrete experiments to test new responses to frustration and resentment.Finding the best approach is part of the first few sessions. Natalie works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, preferences and the specific situations that trigger anger. She will discuss which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed.
