Natalie Benjamin

Natalie Benjamin is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has seven years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and attention difficulties such as ADHD. Natalie also supports concerns around body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, and questions about life purpose.

Her sessions tend to be client-centred, meaning she focuses on each person’s perspective and priorities. She combines that with psychodynamic ideas about how past experiences shape feelings today. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify small, practical steps that can ease day-to-day struggles.

Natalie has experience supporting people with special educational needs and has updated her training in understanding autism and ADHD. She uses that knowledge to adapt conversations and strategies to what helps each person concentrate, remember, and manage motivation.

In practice she aims to listen without judgement and to work with the issues the client brings. Typical sessions involve talking through current problems, identifying patterns that repeat, and trying short experiments to change how things feel. Natalie notes that starting therapy takes courage and acknowledges that first step.

Sessions operate via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to begin the process.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening to the person and following their priorities. Online sessions using this approach mean the therapist and client set the agenda together and concentrate on what feels most important now.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences shape present feelings and patterns. In online sessions this can help people notice recurring reactions and understand how earlier relationships influence current choices and emotions.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and short-term goals. When used online it often involves identifying a small change to try between sessions and reviewing what helped or hindered progress.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Natalie will discuss goals, preferences and immediate needs, and together they will try methods that suit the person. The first sessions are used to test what fits and to adjust how they work together.

If you want online appointments, please confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. These practical benefits can help people maintain regular contact while they tackle day-to-day stresses and questions about life direction.
