Natasha Hughes, BACP

Natasha Hughes offers a warm, attentive counselling approach that centres the person in front of her. She introduces herself plainly and listens without judgement. Her style aims to help people name what is hard and take small steps towards change.

With 15 years of experience, Natasha draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person. She uses client-centred work to build trust and understanding. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps spot unhelpful thought patterns and try different responses.

Natasha has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, grief and relationship difficulties. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, addiction, bipolar experiences and stress linked to caregiving or work. Other areas she helps with include body image, attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, communication struggles and parenting concerns.

EMDR is part of her practice for clients who have trauma memories that feel stuck. She also draws on Jungian ideas and mindfulness practices to help people notice patterns and increase self-awareness. Natasha adapts methods to the needs and pace of the person she is meeting.

Natasha is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session according to availability.

How Natasha's approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person sets the pace and topics. Online work can preserve that supportive stance by allowing people to meet from wherever fits their routine.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and tries practical new behaviours. That hands-on problem solving adapts well to online sessions because it uses clear exercises and homework between meetings.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, addresses distressing memories using an ordered protocol aimed at reducing their intensity. When EMDR is offered online a therapist will explain the steps and agree how to work together before beginning.

Choosing the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk through goals, previous experience and comfort with techniques, then agree on a plan that can change as progress is made.

Please check which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography did not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use remote work to maintain continuity of care when life makes face-to-face appointments difficult.
