Natalie Clarke, BACP

Natalie Clarke uses a person-centred approach to counselling that focuses on what matters to the individual. She listens carefully and helps people make sense of difficult feelings. Conversations aim to leave people feeling clearer about their situation and more able to make choices that suit them.

Natalie offers online and telephone sessions from the United Kingdom. She works with adults and adolescents and has four years of professional experience. Her registration is with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often abbreviated as BACP.

Sessions are straightforward and conversational. Natalie gives space for people to describe their concerns and reflects back what she hears. This helps people understand how past events or current stresses affect mood, relationships and daily life.

She commonly helps with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, eating concerns and issues around intimacy and relationships. She also supports people dealing with grief, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, anger, bipolar difficulties, ADHD and questions around sexual orientation or LGBT matters.

In practice Natalie focuses on improving self-esteem and coping skills. She works at the person’s pace and encourages small, manageable steps. The aim is to help people notice changes that matter in their day-to-day lives and relationships.

Person-centred counselling online and practical options

Natalie follows a person-centred approach which places the person at the heart of the work. She listens without judgement and reflects back what is said to help people gain clarity about their feelings and choices. This way of working suits people coping with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, self-esteem or trauma-related concerns.

Working together, she helps clients identify how their experiences shape current choices and supports them to try small, realistic changes. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process - the person and the counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adjust the way they work as things progress.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text sessions suit short check-ins or times when writing feels more comfortable. These formats make therapy easier to fit around work, family life and daily routines while keeping the focus on practical progress.
