Natasha Kelly, BACP

Natasha Kelly is a counsellor and former primary school teacher who brings practical care to emotional concerns. She holds BACP accreditation and combines grounded listening with clear tools to help people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and life changes.

She writes about mental health and has worked in the NHS, charities and private practice. That range has given her experience with people facing grief, caregiver stress, workplace strain and relationship difficulties. Natasha also supports those dealing with addictions, sleep problems and feelings of emptiness.

In sessions she uses client-centred ways of working, which means the person sets the pace and focus. She also draws on cognitive behavioural approaches to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and mindfulness to help with grounding and focus. Hypnotherapy and Imago relationship ideas are used where they may help the goals agreed together.

Naturally practical, she aims to help people build everyday skills for coping and communication. She supports parents and carers with the pressures that come from caring roles and blended-family situations, while also helping young adults and women facing life transitions.

Naturally conversational, Natasha keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters now. People who want to explore next steps can use the site to match and arrange a time to meet.

How Natasha blends talking therapies and online care

Natasha commonly combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas. Client-centred work means sessions are guided by the person's concerns and tempo, with the therapist offering reflective listening and questions to help clarify what matters. Cognitive behavioural techniques focus on spotting and changing unhelpful thought patterns and building practical coping steps for anxiety, low mood or stress.

She also uses mindfulness practices to help people slow down and notice thoughts and feelings without judgement. These short exercises can support sleep, stress and overwhelm by teaching simple attention skills that are easy to practise between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Natasha will talk through goals, try approaches that fit the person's needs, and adapt methods if something does not feel helpful. The process is collaborative and paced to what the person wants to achieve.
