About Natalie
Natalie Brunning is an accredited counsellor (BACP) in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. She supports people dealing with depression, stress and anxiety. She also works with people managing addictions, low self-esteem and motivation struggles.
Natalie has a long record of working with complex trauma including post-traumatic stress and dissociative presentations, plus sexual and domestic abuse. She aims to make it straightforward to talk about difficult experiences and feelings. Sessions are paced to the person's comfort rather than rushed.
Her approach is practical and down-to-earth. She helps people name what is happening, identify small changes to try, and review what helps and what does not. Conversations focus on everyday problems as much as past experiences.
Natalie is familiar with issues that can come up when households merge, such as loyalty conflicts and changes in routine. She can help an individual think through step-parenting roles, co-parenting boundaries and relationship strain that follows a new household arrangement.
People who choose her often want clear steps they can try between meetings. She encourages simple experiments and checks progress in subsequent sessions. That practical rhythm helps parents balance therapy with busy family life.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to help people make practical changes. One common approach focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour, and testing small alternatives to see what reduces distress. This helps with anxiety, low mood and motivation problems.Another helpful approach addresses traumatic memories and their effects by gently working through how experiences affect current life and relationships. That kind of work can ease flashbacks, hypervigilance and difficulties in trust after abuse or traumatic events.
Choosing the right method is part of the work. Natalie will talk through the options with each person and decide together which approaches to try, based on needs, goals and how someone prefers to work. The plan can change as progress is reviewed.
The biography does not specify which online formats are used, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Working this way lets people try techniques between sessions and then discuss what helped at the next meeting.
