About Natasha

Natasha Hughes is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 15 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain and anger. Natasha also supports people managing grief, trauma and addiction concerns.

She uses conversational, client-centred ways of working. Sessions focus on what is happening now and how past experiences shape reactions. Natasha offers cognitive approaches to help spot and change thought patterns that feed anger, anxiety or low mood.

For people affected by traumatic events she draws on EMDR alongside other methods to reduce the hold of distressing memories. She also uses mindfulness and Jungian-informed ideas to help people connect with feelings and meaning when that is useful.

Natasha has worked with people from a range of backgrounds and sexual orientations. She describes a calm, attentive style and aims to reduce shame around difficult feelings. Practical steps and talking through behaviour patterns are central to her sessions.

Clients typically explore triggers, learned responses, and practical coping strategies. Natasha encourages clearer communication, boundaries and short exercises to change unhelpful habits. She explains how patterns form and helps people test new ways of responding in everyday life.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Natasha commonly combines Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person to speak about what matters to them, helping clarify feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help reduce outbursts of anger or ongoing resentment.

She also uses EMDR for people affected by traumatic memories, a structured method that works with distressing images and emotions to reduce their intensity. EMDR is used when trauma-related material is part of the problem and can be adapted to slower, paced steps if needed.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable. Together they will choose which methods to try and review progress as sessions continue.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapeutic time into a day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Discussing practical arrangements in the first session helps match approach and timing to everyday life.
