Natalie Leslie , BACP

Natalie Leslie is a fully qualified, BACP registered person-centred counsellor who supports people facing depression, anxiety, grief, and a wide range of life challenges. She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where feelings and thoughts can be explored, helping people to make sense of difficult emotions and move toward a more fulfilling life. Natalie works collaboratively with individuals to build understanding and resilience, offering practical and emotional support as they take the courageous steps toward change.

Natalie is also an accredited NHS Talking Therapies counsellor with specialist training in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling for Depression (PCE-CFD). BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body that recognises her training and standards of practice. PCE-CFD blends person-centred and emotion-focused approaches and is designed to help people who are experiencing anxiety, low mood, emotional overwhelm, or depression. This approach offers an alternative to cognitive methods by emphasising emotional processing and reconnection with the self.

In her practice Natalie aims to empower clients to better understand themselves and the issues they face, working alongside them with empathy and respect so they can find practical ways to cope and heal.

Person-Centred and Emotion-Focused Care Online

Client-Centred Therapy is a warm, non-directive approach that prioritises the client’s perspective. It focuses on empathy, acceptance, and helping people explore their feelings so they can find their own solutions - it is often helpful for depression, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and processing core emotions and improving emotional bonds in relationships. EFT can support people dealing with intense emotions, relationship difficulties, or patterns of avoidance by helping them access and work through underlying feelings.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Natalie will work collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best with their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will review what is helping and adjust the approach over time to ensure the work feels meaningful and useful.

Online therapy with Natalie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or mobility needs, and they allow continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to support emotional processing, practical problem solving, and relationship work in ways that suit each client.
