About Natalie
Natalie Janinski is an ACA counsellor who combines lived experience with practical, hands-on therapy. She aims to help people move through anxiety, relationship strain, codependency and trauma without getting stuck in long, drawn-out processes. Natalie speaks plainly and keeps sessions focused on change that people can notice in daily life.
She uses experiential approaches that work with the brain's memory reconsolidation process. Those methods can lead to quicker shifts in symptoms such as anxiety, people pleasing, self-sabotage and low mood for some clients. Natalie also blends somatic tools so the body is part of the work, not just words.
Her somatic toolbox includes yoga-informed movement, breathwork, polyvagal-informed exercises and mindful focusing. These practices are adapted to each person's pace and comfort. The goal is to help people feel more grounded and less overwhelmed by strong emotions.
Natalie describes herself as a lived experience practitioner and offers Level 1 Internal Family Systems and Coherence Therapy approaches as part of her work. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client's preferences guide what happens in session.
People who prefer direct, experiential methods tend to connect with her style. She invites prospective clients to have a short chat to see if the pairing feels right before committing to ongoing sessions.
How experiential and somatic work adapts to online therapy
Experiential approaches like Internal Family Systems and Coherence Therapy focus on shifting the emotional and memory patterns that keep problems repeating. IFS helps people notice different parts of themselves and relate to them differently, while Coherence Therapy targets core emotional learnings so old reactions can change. These methods can suit issues such as anxiety, codependency and trauma-related symptoms.Somatic techniques complement those models by using gentle movement, breathwork and polyvagal-informed practices to calm the nervous system and deepen learning. Yoga-informed movements and mindful focusing help people reconnect with bodily signals and manage strong emotions in the moment.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will check in about your goals, preferences and how you respond to different methods, then tailor the work over time rather than imposing a single model.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins on hectic days and remove commuting time. It also makes it possible to work with an appropriately qualified therapist from where you already are, while still focusing on practical change and daily-life improvements.
