Natalie Brunning, BACP

Natalie Brunning is an accredited counsellor in the United Kingdom with more than 15 years of clinical experience. She holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects recognised professional standards in the counselling field.

Natalie has supported people through depression, stress, anxiety, and the challenges of addiction, as well as work on motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. She specialises in complex trauma, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and dissociative identity considerations, and has experience supporting survivors of sexual and domestic abuse.

Her approach focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored at the client’s pace. Recognising that reaching out for therapy takes courage, Natalie collaborates with each person to set goals and to move forward at a speed that feels manageable. Her practice aims to help clients build resilience, clarify priorities, and develop practical ways to manage difficult emotions and behaviours.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Therapeutic Support

Natalie works using evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the presenting issue. For trauma-related work she employs trauma-focused, evidence-informed strategies that help people process distressing memories and reduce their impact on daily functioning - useful for those coping with abuse, PTSD, or complex trauma.

For anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with motivation or self-esteem she uses structured, evidence-based methods aimed at identifying unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour and building practical coping skills - approaches that support emotional regulation and gradual change.

When working with addictions and related challenges she applies evidence-informed strategies that focus on motivation, relapse awareness, and practical steps toward healthier choices, supporting clients through each stage of recovery.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Natalie will discuss options openly, adapt techniques to a client’s needs and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Online therapy offers flexibility: sessions can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives and differing comfort levels - making it easier to access regular support from registered professionals regardless of location.
