About Natalie
Natalie Mccarthy is a counsellor and psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation and has four years of professional experience. Natalie aims to help people notice what matters to them and respond in ways that feel more authentic.
Her style is straightforward and warm. Natalie describes an integrative approach that draws on several methods to suit each person. She places emphasis on acceptance and understanding so people feel heard and respected.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be calm and down to earth, with gentle challenge when it helps move things forward. People come to Natalie with many concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and addiction. She also works with issues around relationships, sexuality, gender identity, parenting and coping with illness.
Natalie pays attention to how life events and attachment patterns shape current struggles. In practical terms Natalie blends client-centred ways of listening with more structured tools when useful. That can include techniques drawn from cognitive behavioural approaches and mindfulness, alongside work that looks at relational patterns.
The focus is on what is useful for the person in front of her. Natalie offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to suit different needs. She supports people who want coaching-style work as well as more traditional psychotherapy.
To start, a short questionnaire and an appointment are used to match and plan the first sessions.

Online support
Approaches that inform online work and what to expect
Existential therapy looks at the choices people face and the meaning they give to life events. It helps when someone is wrestling with identity, purpose or major life changes by focusing on values and personal responsibility.Attachment-based therapy pays attention to patterns in close relationships. It helps people understand why they form certain bonds and how past attachments influence current difficulties in intimacy and communication.
Client-centred therapy emphasises a respectful, non-judgemental listening stance. The therapist aims to reflect what a person brings and to support them in finding their own solutions rather than imposing directions.
Natalie approaches choice of method as a collaborative process. She will help work out which approach or combination fits someone’s needs, goals and preferences rather than assuming one path from the start.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat works well for shorter check-ins, and text messaging suits people who prefer writing between sessions. These options offer flexibility and help people keep therapy going when schedules or location would otherwise make it difficult.
