About Natasha
Natasha Hughes is a counsellor with 15 years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and relationship difficulties. She uses practical, person-focused ways of working to help people make sense of painful experiences and manage day-to-day struggles. Natasha is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Her sessions are warm and attentive. She starts by listening to what matters most and then helps clients spot patterns in thoughts and behaviour.
Background and approach
That might include practical CBT techniques to reduce anxiety, or mindfulness exercises to calm racing thoughts. Natasha has worked with adults facing depression, grief and issues linked to trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with addiction, bipolar mood challenges, eating and body image concerns, and parenting stresses.
Her background includes helping those coping with abandonment, attachment struggles, codependency and relationship breakdown. When trauma is involved, she may use EMDR alongside talking approaches to help process distressing memories. Jungian ideas about meaning and the unconscious also inform the work for clients who want to explore deeper themes.
Motivational interviewing can be used to encourage change when someone feels stuck. Sessions are offered in English and can be adapted to each person's needs. Natasha aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can talk things through and try practical steps to feel steadier in daily life.

Practical therapy approaches for online care
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person says matters. It aims to create a supportive space where the client’s priorities guide the work and practical steps follow from what emerges in conversation.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers simple, structured techniques to reduce anxiety, change unhelpful habits and build coping skills for day-to-day life.
EMDR is a method used when past events continue to cause strong distress. It pairs guided attention with talk-based processing to help lessen the emotional intensity of difficult memories.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Natasha will talk through options and decide together with the client which methods best fit their goals, history and preferences. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions provide flexibility and easier access to regular support. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations, phone sessions can be helpful when video is difficult, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare and changing routines.
