Natalie Young , BACP

Natalie Young is a BACP-registered therapist in the United Kingdom who supports people navigating repeating patterns, overwhelming days, and feelings of numbness or confusion. She works collaboratively to explore the parts of a person that hold them back - including hidden emotions, shame-driven traits, and patterns rooted in earlier relationships - while also identifying the aspects that are ready to be acknowledged and nurtured.

Natalie uses a person-centred stance that prioritizes the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for growth. Through that connection she helps clients uncover blind spots and long-standing habits, develop greater self-compassion, and rebuild healthier relationships with others and with themselves. Her approach is designed to be creative and dynamic rather than relentlessly clinical, making space for challenge alongside warmth and curiosity.

With five years of experience, Natalie brings a focus on practical change as well as deeper emotional understanding. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma, grief, addictive behaviours, self-esteem struggles, parenting challenges, and career-related concerns. Natalie holds BACP credentials - membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - reflecting her commitment to professional standards and ongoing development as a therapist.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It supports coping with anxiety, change, and low motivation by combining mindfulness with goal-focused strategies.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps those struggling with attachment issues, abandonment fears, and relationship difficulties to build more secure connections and understand repeating dynamics.

Natalie also practices client-centred therapy, which emphasises a respectful, non-judgemental relationship where the person’s experience is central. That approach is useful for building self-compassion, exploring identity, and finding direction during life transitions.

Finding the right method is part of the therapeutic process and Natalie approaches this collaboratively. She will work with clients to identify which combination of approaches best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing work to continue around busy schedules, geographic constraints, or mobility needs. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, try different ways of communicating, and stay engaged in a way that suits each person’s life and learning style.
