About Natasha
Natasha Hughes is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 15 years' experience. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, addictions and identity matters such as LGBT concerns. Natasha also addresses issues linked to parenting, career stress and ADHD.
She uses straightforward, client-centred talking therapy as one main approach. That means she listens to what matters to the client and works from there. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to look at how thoughts shape feelings and behaviours, and she uses EMDR when trauma memories are a focus.
Natasha often helps people untangle how past events affect current responses. She will talk through patterns like avoidance, control habits, perfectionism or codependency, and look at practical ways to try things differently. Sessions aim to make difficult feelings easier to name and respond to rather than avoid.
Her work also covers body image and eating-related worries, caregiver stress, abandonment and attachment issues, and problems such as anger, emptiness and communication breakdown. She has experience with substance misuse and with people coping with bipolar mood patterns.
People who reach out can expect her to combine listening with practical techniques from CBT, mindfulness and EMDR when appropriate. To begin, she asks people to share what they want to change or understand better, then they agree the next steps together.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities. Online sessions let the conversation stay focused on what feels most important, with the counsellor encouraging exploration of feelings and everyday responses. Cognitive behavioural therapy is about spotting thought patterns and trying practical behaviour changes; this can work well online with exercises, thought records and brief between-session tasks to try in daily life. EMDR is used for trauma and involves guided attention to distressing memories; when appropriate this therapist may adapt EMDR techniques for remote sessions and guide the process step by step. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Natasha will discuss what you want to change or understand and then suggest methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can shift as needs change. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Many people find video or phone sessions helpful because they slot into everyday life more easily; discuss practical preferences when arranging the first appointment so sessions fit your routine.Areas of expertise
