Natasha Hughes , BACP

Natasha Hughes is a compassionate therapist practicing in the United Kingdom with 15 years of clinical experience. She is a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) and holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings a warm, attentive, and non-judgmental presence to therapeutic work.

Naturally curious about how past and current stressors shape responses to life, Natasha works with adults and young people facing a wide range of challenges including depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship difficulties, grief, and issues around self-esteem and identity. She has supported people from diverse backgrounds, sexual orientations, genders, religions, and cultures, addressing concerns such as obsessive thoughts, post-traumatic stress, dissociation, mania, hoarding, and bereavement.

Naturasha adapts her approach to each person’s needs, drawing on client-centered methods that focus on the individual’s experience, cognitive behavioural techniques to explore how thoughts influence feelings and behaviour, and EMDR when trauma processing is needed. Her practice is tailored to help people uncover unhelpful coping strategies, build healthier patterns, and move toward greater emotional balance and fulfilment. She welcomes the opportunity to meet and work collaboratively to navigate life’s difficulties and find practical, meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches Suited to Online Care

Natasha integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and EMDR into her work and adapts these methods for online settings. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, empathic environment in which the individual’s own insights and values guide change - it can be helpful for relationship issues, low self-esteem, and emotional processing. CBT is a practical, evidence-informed approach that examines how thoughts influence feelings and behaviours and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that helps people reprocess distressing memories and associated reactions when trauma is a central concern.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Natasha works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy with Natasha is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, family, and location. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy schedules, and access support from different places while still working with licensed professionals and therapists trained in these approaches.
