Natalie Atandare, BACP

Natalie Atandare is a counsellor with ten years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and motivation. Natalie aims to offer a respectful, sensitive and compassionate space for people who are ready to start making changes.

She shapes conversations and the plan for therapy around each person's needs. That means sessions are practical and geared to what matters most to the individual. Natalie helps people reflect on where they are now, and what small steps could move them toward greater calm and confidence.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns including relationship and family difficulties, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and issues with intimacy and communication. She also supports people facing work and career pressures, compassion fatigue, addiction worries, and challenges linked to health such as cancer and living with long-term conditions.

Natalie uses well-established approaches such as client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural techniques. She also draws on existential and solution-focused ideas when those perspectives fit the person's aims. Together these approaches help with coping strategies, shifts in thinking, and clearer goal-setting.

People can expect a straightforward, down-to-earth style. Natalie works with clients to build practical steps, notice progress, and adjust plans as life changes. She aims to help people move from feeling stuck toward more steady everyday wellbeing.

How Natalie’s approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, offers empathy and helps people clarify what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try practical changes to thinking and behaviour that can reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Natalie will discuss goals and preferences and together they will choose methods that feel useful. That collaborative process means aims and techniques can change as progress is made or challenges shift.

The practical benefits of online sessions depend on the formats available, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work, family or medical commitments and can reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day, or sessions focused on talking work and homework between meetings.
