Natalie Young, BACP

Natalie Young brings a warm, exploratory style to therapy that focuses on helping people break free from repeating patterns and regain a clearer sense of themselves. She works with clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, numb, or unsure where to begin, guiding them to identify the behaviours and beliefs that keep life feeling heavy or unmanageable. Through a collaborative relationship she helps uncover blind spots - those hidden dynamics that limit growth - and gently bring into awareness the shadow parts kept out of view by shame or conditioning.

Natalie uses a person-centered approach that values curiosity, creativity, and the client’s own pace of change. Therapy with her aims to rejuvenate relationships with others and, crucially, the relationship a person has with themselves. Sessions focus on building self-compassion and strength while exploring the patterns that repeat in relationships and daily life, so clients can move toward choices that feel more authentic and sustaining.

She is affiliated with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a national professional organization for counsellors and psychotherapists. Over time Natalie supports clients to understand why certain patterns persist, to embrace all parts of themselves, and to develop practical ways of living in line with their values and hopes.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, practical steps toward those values while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, life transitions, and patterns that keep someone stuck.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relational patterns shape expectations and reactions in close relationships. It supports people working through attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and repeating relationship dynamics by exploring how bonds were formed and how they can be rebuilt in healthier ways.

Natalie also uses a client-centered approach that emphasizes empathy, respect, and the client’s own experience as the guide for change. She works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best, adapting the work as needs, goals, and preferences become clearer.

Online therapy with Natalie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and access regardless of location. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, and travel commitments and allow clients to choose the way of communicating that feels most comfortable while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
