Natalie Brunning, BACP

Natalie Brunning is an accredited counsellor in the United Kingdom with more than 15 years of professional experience. She supports adults facing depression, stress, and anxiety, and she works with people coping with addictions, low motivation, and challenges with self-esteem and confidence. Her practice also focuses on complex trauma, including PTSD and dissociative identity disorder, and on survivors of sexual and domestic abuse.

Natalie aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult thoughts and feelings at a pace that feels manageable. She recognises that beginning therapy often requires courage, and she works collaboratively to build trust and to set goals that reflect each person’s needs.

She is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates professional accreditation within the UK counselling profession. Natalie accepts international clients and offers a flexible approach to support people from different backgrounds and life situations.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Therapy Options

Natalie uses trauma-informed approaches that focus on understanding how past traumatic experiences affect current feelings, behaviours, and relationships. These methods help people who have experienced complex trauma, PTSD, dissociative symptoms, or sexual and domestic abuse to make sense of their responses and to develop ways to feel more stable and grounded.

She also employs practical, skills-based evidence techniques designed to address stress, anxiety, low mood, addictive behaviours, and self-esteem difficulties. These approaches typically involve learning coping strategies, building emotional regulation skills, and working toward concrete goals that improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Natalie collaborates with each client to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with a registered professional. Clients can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit their schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and select the communication style that feels most helpful.
