Natalie Brunning, BACP

Natalie Brunning is a counsellor in the United Kingdom who helps people facing depression, stress, anxiety and addictions. She also supports those dealing with self-esteem and motivation concerns. Natalie has more than 15 years of experience and meets the standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

She works with people who have experienced complex trauma, including post-traumatic stress disorder and dissociative identity issues, and those affected by sexual and domestic abuse. Natalie aims to create an open, non-judgemental space so clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions move at a pace that feels manageable for each person.

Her approach is practical and person-centred. Conversations focus on immediate concerns and finding steps that fit day-to-day life. Natalie helps clients build coping skills, increase emotional awareness and strengthen confidence over time.

Across her work she also addresses related issues such as abandonment, attachment, caregiver stress, chronic pain and body image. She tailors support around what each person brings to the room, rather than a one-size-fits-all method.

Parents and carers who are worried about starting therapy will find straightforward explanations and gentle pacing. To begin, people are invited to use the Start Therapy button, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How evidence-based methods translate to online work

Many therapeutic approaches aim to help people make sense of distress and build new ways to cope. For example, trauma-focused work helps people process painful memories and reduce their day-to-day distress by teaching grounding and pacing techniques. Another common approach emphasises building emotional awareness and practical coping skills to manage anxiety, low mood and addictive behaviours in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their situation, goals and preferences, and agree on methods to try. Adjustments are made over time so the work stays relevant and useful for the individual.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed, or longer sessions for more in-depth work, depending on what the therapist offers. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking so you know whether video, phone or other arrangements are possible. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often use online work to help clients continue making progress alongside everyday life.
