About Natalie
Natalie Benjamin is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and attention difficulties such as ADHD. She also notes additional focus on body image, caregiving strain, communication problems and life purpose.
Her way of working is client-centred. That means sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. She listens for the patterns that get in the way of everyday life - for example panic attacks, social anxiety or problems with motivation and memory - and uses practical conversations to address them.
Natalie draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current feelings and reactions. She also uses solution-focused tools to identify small, achievable changes that make a difference between sessions. These approaches are mixed to suit what a person brings each week.
She has experience with people who are grieving, going through divorce or separation, or feeling isolated and stuck about purpose. She mentions recent continued professional development in understanding and supporting people with autism and ADHD.
Sessions are described as respectful and sensitive, with a focus on clear, practical work rather than jargon. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online booking option.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy places the client's concerns at the centre of each session. Natalie focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can say what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs to clarify priorities or feels uncertain about next steps.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences influence current feelings and behaviour. Natalie uses this to help uncover recurring patterns that contribute to anxiety, low mood or relationship difficulties, and to make sense of emotional reactions.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical changes. It aims to identify straightforward steps and strengths the person can use between sessions to build momentum and reduce overwhelm.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Natalie collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. This is reviewed over the first few meetings so the plan can shift if something is not helpful.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as these are not specified here. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques so conversations remain focused and practical even when not in the same room.
