Norma Augustin, BACP

Norma Augustin is a United Kingdom-based therapist with six years of clinical experience who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and significant life transitions. She creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients are encouraged to explore difficult thoughts and emotions at their own pace, and she frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at practical, meaningful change.

Norma draws on a range of clinical approaches to tailor care to each person's needs, helping clients build coping skills, process painful experiences, and clarify priorities for a more satisfying life. Her practice also attends to concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment difficulties, self-harm, and the emotional impact of discrimination and multicultural stressors. She works with young adults, people coping with serious health challenges, and those addressing relationship patterns like codependency and communication problems.

As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Norma follows established professional standards and ethical guidance. She recognises that seeking support takes courage and offers steady professional support to help clients take the first steps toward greater wellbeing and resilience.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Norma frequently works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a practical, goal-oriented approach that helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and develop healthier ways of coping. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress-related concerns.

She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to help process and reduce the ongoing emotional impact of traumatic experiences. This approach aims to help clients make sense of trauma-related memories and rebuild a sense of safety and control.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself - Norma collaborates with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as therapy progresses to ensure the best fit.

Online therapy with Norma is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or those who prefer remote care. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of support and to access therapeutic help from familiar surroundings.
