Natasha Walker, BACP

Natasha Walker works from a person-centred foundation and adapts other methods to suit each person. She puts warmth and non-judgemental listening first. Natasha aims to help people who are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed or overwhelmed by life changes find clearer ways forward.

She uses practical conversation to explore what matters to the client. That might include addressing low self-esteem, anger, relationship worries, grief, parenting strain or difficulties linked to trauma and abuse. She also supports people managing ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, career pressures and compassion fatigue.

Naturally empathetic, Natasha draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioural ideas when helpful. She also uses attachment-based and emotionally-focused approaches to look at close relationships and intimacy issues. Sessions are shaped around the individual rather than a fixed programme.

Having worked in centres, schools and in online and telephone settings, she brings six years of professional experience to her counselling. Natasha is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). This membership supports her ongoing professional development and ethical practice.

People who meet her can expect a collaborative style. She will follow the client’s lead while offering practical tools and reflective space. The goal is to help people make changes that fit their life and values.

If someone is ready to begin, she helps them take the first step at a pace that feels manageable.

Approach and online therapy that adapts to you

Natasha uses a person-centred base and combines it with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) where helpful. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour to reduce symptoms like excessive worry or low mood and gives practical steps to change those patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Natasha collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. She will listen first, then introduce techniques and experiments that fit the client’s life and values rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and emotional work, phone sessions can fit a shorter check-in or low bandwidth needs, while chat and messaging make it easier to connect during busy days or to reflect in writing. These options help people access therapy from different locations and at times that work for them.
