Natalie Janinski

Natalie Janinski is an ACA counsellor who draws on lived experience to support people dealing with strong emotions. She frames therapy around experiential work and somatic practices to help clients move through stuck patterns and feel more like themselves again.

Natalie uses Internal Family Systems and Coherence Therapy in her work. These approaches focus on the ways memories and parts of the self hold painful beliefs and reactions. She explains how memory reconsolidation can shift those patterns, sometimes producing noticeable change more quickly than talk alone.

Alongside those models, Natalie includes somatic interventions tailored to each person. Examples include yoga-informed movement, breathwork, polyvagal techniques and mindful focusing to help the body settle and reduce reactivity. She adapts exercises to match where a person is at in the session.

Her practice aims to address issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and anger. Additional areas she attends to include attachment wounds, codependency, dissociation and eating-related concerns. Natalie works to make sessions practical and grounded rather than abstract.

She encourages people to trust their instincts when choosing a therapist and offers an initial brief chat to answer questions. Prospective clients are invited to start with the site's matching process and then schedule sessions according to her availability.

Experiential and Somatic Approaches Online

Internal Family Systems is a model that describes parts of the self that hold different feelings and beliefs; work in this approach helps people identify and relate to those parts so old reactions can shift. Coherence Therapy focuses on how memories and implicit beliefs drive symptoms and uses targeted experiences to change those memory-based patterns.

Natalie also uses somatic techniques such as breathwork, yoga-informed movement and polyvagal-informed exercises to help the body down-regulate. These practices are used alongside memory-focused work to reduce reactivity and increase calm in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to test what helps most, adapt techniques to the person's preferences and adjust the pace according to needs and goals.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions let them fit therapy around work, parenting and travel, and they can make it easier to keep regular sessions. Others appreciate being able to do shorter check-ins or to use movement and breath exercises without commuting; the therapist will discuss practical arrangements when you first connect.
