Natalie Streets

Natalie Streets is a counsellor and psychotherapist who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self esteem, and depression. She is based on the Isle of Wight and draws on personal experience of anxiety and living with obsessive-compulsive tendencies to inform her work. Natalie uses a calm, down-to-earth style to make difficult topics easier to talk about.

She trained to Diploma level in psychotherapy and holds NCPS credentials, and she now combines clinical work with a leadership role in a local wellbeing organisation. Before returning home she spent several years managing pubs in London, where she built practical skills in communication, teamwork and resilience. Those life skills feed into how she supports people now.

In sessions she aims to help people untangle overwhelming thoughts, rebuild self esteem, and find clearer ways to handle panic or mood shifts. Conversations are collaborative and practical, focusing on what a person wants to change and small steps they can take between meetings. Natalie pays attention to how past hurt affects present choices, and she helps people notice patterns like avoidance or impulsivity.

She also works with concerns including body image, abandonment worries, control issues, loneliness, guilt and shame, and problems around divorce and separation. Her approach is flexible and tailored to the person in front of her. Natalie encourages realistic goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

People who come to her can expect straightforward conversations, practical coping strategies, and a focus on rebuilding purpose and agency in daily life.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are at the heart of her practice. One common approach she uses focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours that keep problems going; this can help with anxiety, panic and mood difficulties. Another approach centres on understanding how past experiences shape current reactions and relationships, which can be useful for working through trauma, abandonment issues and low self esteem.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, life circumstances and preferences. That way sessions become a collaborative plan rather than a fixed recipe, and adjustments are made as progress is noticed.

If you are thinking about online therapy, check the session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone attend from where they feel most able to focus, or avoid needing to be on camera for parts of a session. Confirm the exact session arrangements during booking to make sure they suit your needs.
