Natasha Hughes, BACP

Natasha Hughes is a warm and attentive counsellor who invites people to explore feelings and behaviours that arise while navigating life’s challenges. She works with adults and young people, offering a non-judgmental space where difficult experiences can be examined and understood. Natasha has supported clients facing depression, anxiety, obsessions and compulsions, post-traumatic stress, substance misuse, mania, hoarding, and dissociation connected to traumatic events, as well as relationship difficulties, loss and bereavement.

Her practice blends a range of therapeutic perspectives tailored to each person’s needs. She uses cognitive approaches to help clients identify how thoughts influence feelings and actions and to explore unhelpful coping patterns that develop after hard experiences. For those affected by past trauma and abuse she also works with EMDR, a method aimed at processing distressing memories and reducing their ongoing emotional impact. Natasha cares deeply about each person’s vulnerabilities and works collaboratively to help them find relief and move toward a more fulfilled life.

Natasha holds BACP credentials - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her professional commitment within the UK. She welcomes the opportunity to meet people from diverse backgrounds, sexual orientations, genders, religions and cultures, and to support them in making meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Natasha integrates clinical approaches that suit different kinds of challenges, beginning with client-centered work which places the person’s experience at the heart of therapy and helps build a trusting, empathetic relationship that supports personal growth. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, a practical approach often helpful for anxiety, depression and stress-related problems. For people who have experienced traumatic events, Natasha draws on EMDR, a structured method aimed at processing distressing memories and reducing their ongoing emotional intensity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Natasha works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. Together they review progress and adjust the plan as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives or to access registered professionals from different locations. These options allow consistent support, easier scheduling and the ability to continue work even when in-person meetings are not possible.
