About Natasha
Natasha Hughes is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 15 years of experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions and life changes. Natasha also supports people exploring career questions, ADHD, parenting strains and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Her approach centres on the person in front of her. She uses client-centred conversations to help people make sense of their feelings and choices. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at how thoughts shape feelings and behaviour, and on EMDR when addressing traumatic memories.
Natasha has worked with people from varied backgrounds and with diverse sexual orientations and genders. She names specific concerns she often sees, including obsessive or compulsive behaviours, post-traumatic stress responses, substance use, mood swings and dissociation following traumatic events. She also lists practical areas such as communication problems, codependency, caregiver stress and body-image struggles.
In sessions she listens for patterns that link past stresses to current reactions. The work can include identifying unhelpful coping strategies, practising new ways of responding, and using trauma-focused techniques when needed. She frames therapy as collaborative problem-solving rather than giving one-size-fits-all advice.
Natasha accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. If someone is curious about working together she asks them to use the online matching steps to book an initial appointment and discuss what they hope to address.
How Natasha links approaches to online work
Natasha commonly combines client-centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Client-centred work focuses on the person’s experience and helps them tell their story in a non-judgemental way, which can be useful for issues like relationship strain, caregiver stress and career uncertainty. CBT looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviour and offers practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns, which suits anxiety, low mood and many everyday problems.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma-related distress. EMDR involves structured processing of distressing memories and can reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions when people are ready to work on those memories.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Natasha works collaboratively to decide which approaches fit a person’s goals, needs and preferences. Sessions start with a conversation about what feels most pressing and evolve from there.
The original biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm the current online session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can be scheduled around work or caregiving commitments.
