About Natalie
Natalie Bunker is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach combined with cognitive behavioural techniques. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and the effects of trauma and abuse. Natalie aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people can begin to talk about what matters to them.
She has seven years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy-related issues, family-related stress, sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, anger, and self-esteem problems.
Background and approach
She also works with career challenges and young adult issues. Natalie offers additional focus on adoption and foster care matters, blended family dynamics, domestic violence, eating and food-related issues, infidelity, obsessive and compulsive behaviours, panic and panic attacks, non-monogamous relationship questions, smoking and vaping cessation, women’s issues, and workplace difficulties. These areas are woven into how she plans sessions with each person.
In session she tailors the work to the individual. That means listening first, then using cognitive behavioural tools when they seem helpful. Conversations are paced to suit the person’s needs and goals.
The emphasis is on practical steps that can be tried between sessions. Her credential is NCPS, which is shown as part of her professional details. Natalie encourages people to take the first step and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a session.

How Natalie works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It often includes simple exercises and short tasks between sessions to test new ways of coping with anxiety, low mood, panic or obsessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt the mix of person-centred listening and CBT tools to suit the person’s needs.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or making it simpler to meet from a quieter place. Many people find they can practise CBT exercises between sessions more easily when sessions fit into their weekly routine.
