Natalie Young, BACP

Natalie Young welcomes people who are ready to examine repeated patterns and long-standing behaviours that limit day-to-day wellbeing. She works with those who feel overwhelmed, stuck, numb, or uncertain about where to begin, offering a compassionate space to explore both current struggles and deeper life themes.

Natalie draws on a relational, person-centred way of working to build a collaborative therapeutic bond. Through careful exploration she helps clients identify blind spots - those hidden patterns that hold them back - and shadow parts that may be kept out of sight because of shame or conditioning. Sessions invite curiosity about the parts of a person that long to be seen, heard, and felt, while making room for challenge and change rather than only focusing on problem solving.

The aim of Natalie’s practice is to strengthen the relationship a person has with themselves as well as with others. She supports clients to recognise why particular patterns repeat, to practice compassion toward their own experience, and to develop the resilience and clarity needed to pursue meaningful change. Natalie holds BACP accreditation - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects professional standards in the United Kingdom.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Natalie integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches into her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and take purposeful action toward a more meaningful life - it is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses - it can help with intimacy, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the process, offering an empathic, non-directive environment that supports self-discovery and strengthening of self-esteem.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Natalie collaborates with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the way she works as trust and clarity develop in the relationship.

Online therapy with Natalie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit therapy around daily life. These options make it easier to access support from different locations and at different times, while preserving the relational focus that is central to her practice.
