Natalie Streets , NCPS

Natalie Streets is a counsellor and psychotherapist who focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self esteem and depression. She works with people to make small practical changes that ease daily pressure. Natalie writes and talks plainly, so conversations tend to be direct and easy to follow.

Natalie trained to Dip. Psych. C. MNCPS, which is shown as NCPS in her credentials. She combines that foundation with lived experience of anxiety and obsessive-compulsive tendencies to shape how she listens and responds. That background means she often folds practical coping ideas into sessions alongside reflective work.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions aim to clarify what feels most urgent, test small changes, and notice what helps. She values clear communication and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Natalie brings four years of professional experience to her practice and currently serves as Therapeutic Lead at a mental health and wellbeing organisation on the Isle of Wight. Her time managing pubs in London also influenced her people skills and resilience, which she draws on when helping clients navigate difficult conversations and life transitions.

Clients can expect a therapist who balances personal insight with practical tools. Natalie believes people can grow, change, and reconnect with a sense of purpose through steady, focused work.

Therapeutic approaches and online ways of working

Evidence-based techniques are used to help people manage symptoms and build resilience. One approach often used focuses on practical coping strategies - teaching simple routines and breathing or grounding exercises to reduce anxiety and panic. This helps when stress or panic attacks feel overwhelming and you need tools to regain calm quickly.

A second approach emphasises talking through painful experiences and building understanding of patterns that keep problems going. That kind of reflective work can be useful for relationship difficulties, trauma, shame or issues with self esteem because it highlights where to try different responses.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Natalie will discuss goals and preferences with each person and together they will decide what to try first. The process is collaborative and adjustments are made as progress, comfort and needs become clearer.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different rhythms of life. Video calls let people see each other and work in depth, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, while chat or messaging is useful for quick check-ins or for those who prefer writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy schedules.
