Natasha Cunningham , BACP

Natasha Cunningham is a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She works with adults and young people aged 11 and over and combines academic training with practical experience, holding a BSc (Hons) in Psychology from the University of Roehampton and a Postgraduate Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling from the University of Greenwich.

Her background spans the voluntary, statutory and private sectors, with roles supporting students in higher education as well as work in schools, colleges and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services. That range of practice supports an integrative way of working - she draws on person-centred, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural methods and adapts them to suit each person’s needs. Natasha offers long-term, short-term and time-limited face-to-face work depending on what will be most helpful.

She has extensive experience supporting individuals and groups through emotional difficulties. Natasha works with a wide variety of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, bereavement and loss, self-harm, low self-esteem, anger management and bullying. She also supports people dealing with perfectionism, procrastination and challenges associated with neurodivergence, helping clients build insight, practical coping skills and greater resilience.

Integrative approaches and flexible online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the therapeutic relationship and creating a supportive, non-judgemental space where the client is encouraged to lead the pace and direction of work. This approach is often helpful for building self-awareness, confidence and emotional understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, explores the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness and can be especially useful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Natasha works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the plan evolves as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging provide flexibility around work, family and other commitments and make it easier to access support from different locations. Licensed professionals can offer structured, goal-focused work through these formats, helping clients engage in therapy in a way that fits their life.
