Natasha Kelly, BACP

Natasha Kelly uses a client-centred approach to guide people through tough moments. She focuses on listening first, then helps someone set clear goals and practical steps. Natasha has three years' experience as a counsellor and brings a calm, down-to-earth manner to sessions.

She began her career as a primary school teacher and later retrained as a counsellor. That background means she is used to working with people in pressured, changeable situations. She has written about mental health for a range of websites and has experience across the NHS, charity organisations and private practice.

In sessions she mixes person-led talking with practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness. She may also use hypnotherapy techniques when suitable. Natasha draws on Imago Relationship Therapy ideas when addressing intimacy and relationship concerns.

Common areas she helps people with include stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. Other focuses include grief, addictions, workplace stress, caregiver strain and issues around identity and purpose. She also works with concerns such as social anxiety, sleeping problems and midlife transitions.

Natasha offers consultations in English and accepts clients from the United Kingdom and internationally. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled from there.

How Natasha's approaches work online

Natasha blends client-centred practice with cognitive behavioural work and mindfulness in online sessions. Client-centred therapy means the conversation is led by the person seeking help; the counsellor reflects, listens and helps clarify what matters most. Cognitive behavioural therapy offers practical tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours to reduce anxiety or depression. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to manage stress and improve focus.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Natasha will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then try techniques together to find the best fit. Over time she adjusts the mix of talking, practical exercises and short home activities to match each person's needs.

Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes sessions more flexible. Video calls suit deeper conversations where seeing facial cues helps. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflections and more frequent contact between longer sessions.
