About Natalie
Counsellor Natalie Bunker is registered with the NCPS and has seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and related concerns such as sleeping, parenting and workplace issues.
Natalie uses approaches drawn from Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Sessions focus on listening to what matters to the client, and on practical steps that can reduce distress between meetings. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at making day-to-day problems easier to manage.
She also supports people with relationship and intimacy-related issues, blended family and adoption concerns, domestic violence aftermath, eating and food-related problems, and compulsive behaviours. Other areas she addresses include panic attacks, smoking or vaping cessation, polyamory and non-monogamous relationship questions, and issues common to young adults.
Natalie’s work balances talking and practical techniques. She helps people notice patterns in thinking and behaviour and then tries simple alternatives together. The goal is to make change feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
People are shown what to try between sessions, such as short experiments or breathing and sleep strategies. The counsellor encourages steady progress over time and checks what is working at each meeting.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places focus on the person’s own experience. The counsellor listens without directing, and follows what the client brings. This approach helps when someone needs to make sense of emotional pain or life change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings and actions together. It uses clear steps and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, panic attacks, sleeping problems and low mood.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Natalie will work with the client to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. That includes trying different ways of working and adapting what happens in sessions over time.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as those details are not specified here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit meetings into daily life, for example by avoiding travel, enabling shorter check-ins, or offering options when video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to help clients keep therapy practical and sustainable.
