Natasha Walker , BACP

Natasha Walker works from a person-centred base and blends other approaches to suit each person. She uses empathy and unconditional positive regard to build trust so people feel heard and respected. Natasha aims to follow the client’s lead and help them set clear, achievable goals. She makes sensitivity and ethical practice central to sessions.

With six years' experience, Natasha has worked in centres, schools and online and by phone. She continues to work with adults, young adults, teenagers and children alongside her private practice. That range has helped her adapt methods to fit different life stages and situations.

Natasha draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people manage difficult thoughts and emotions. She also uses Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas when relationships and closeness are central concerns. The result is an integrative approach that is tailored to what each person needs.

Common issues she supports include stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, depression, grief and coping with life changes. She also helps with parenting strain, intimacy-related worries, and LGBT concerns. Other areas of focus include ADHD, bipolar, trauma and abuse, and career-related stress.

Natasha is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and keeps up continual professional development. She encourages people to take the first step at their own pace and offers practical conversation and tools to help progress toward a more satisfying life.

Online approaches that fit your life

Natasha uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes because it focuses on meaningful action rather than fighting every thought.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship patterns and closeness are central. These approaches look at how early bonds shape current reactions and aim to help people build safer, more trusting connections in their relationships.

Choosing the right method is part of the work. Natasha will talk with each person about goals, preferences and how they respond to different ways of working. Together you will try approaches and adjust as needed rather than committing to a single technique from the start.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are close to face-to-face and let you use visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging suits brief check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, family and travel commitments.
