About Natasha

BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience, Natasha Hughes helps people address stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and other life challenges using a range of approaches including client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and EMDR.

Natasha meets individuals who are coping with depression, grief, addiction issues and bipolar episodes. She also supports people facing parenting strain, career pressure, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related concerns. The biography notes work with varied sexual orientations, genders, religions and cultures.

Her main way of working is client-centred. That means listening closely to what matters to the person and shaping sessions around their priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy to identify how thoughts influence feelings and behaviour, and EMDR for processing trauma-related memories.

Sessions are described as attentive and non-judgemental, with methods chosen to fit the situation. Natasha recognises how past and current stressors influence present reactions and looks at concrete coping strategies people can use between sessions.

Clients can expect practical conversation about specific problems, straightforward exercises to try, and review of progress over time. The therapist’s BACP credential is listed to indicate professional registration as supplied in the biography. To start, people are invited to use the platform’s matching steps and schedule an initial meeting.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the person. In online sessions this typically looks like open conversation about current problems, goals and what the client wants to change. It suits people who need straightforward support and a therapist who adapts to their pace.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) breaks issues into thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Online work often includes short exercises and simple homework such as tracking thought patterns or testing new behaviours between meetings. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression and stress-related problems.

EMDR is used to process memories linked to traumatic events. In remote sessions EMDR techniques are explained step by step and practiced under the therapist’s guidance, with careful preparation and pacing to match the client’s needs.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that fit the client’s goals, and adjust based on how the work progresses. The client’s preferences and responses help shape the plan.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use these remote sessions to offer regular review and practical tools that fit day-to-day life.
