About Natalie
Natalie Cunningham is an AASW social worker with eight years of professional experience in Australia. She supports people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, life changes and relationship strains. Natalie works in a respectful and down-to-earth way that aims to make starting therapy easier.
Natalie focuses on listening first and tailoring sessions to each person’s needs. She helps people sort out relationship and family tensions, rebuild self-esteem, and find practical ways to cope with day-to-day stress.
Background and approach
Conversations are designed to be straightforward and focused on what matters to the client. Her background includes work with attachment concerns, adoption and foster care matters, blended family questions and the stresses of caregiving. She also supports people facing chronic illness, cancer, aging issues and divorce or separation.
This range gives her experience with the kinds of complex, overlapping problems that can arise in life. In sessions Natalie draws from approaches such as Systemic therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That means she combines attention to how relationships and systems shape problems with skills-based tools for managing thoughts and behaviours.
Sessions aim to be practical, collaborative and goal-focused. Natalie meets people where they are and helps them take small steps toward change. She believes courage is needed to begin therapy and offers steady support while clients try new ways of coping and relating.

Online support
How Natalie uses different approaches online
Systemic therapy looks at how relationships and daily routines shape problems. It helps when tensions keep repeating between people or when patterns in the household affect wellbeing. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clear values and small actions that move someone toward a meaningful life while teaching ways to live alongside difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how past relationships influence current ones and can help people understand and change long-standing patterns in how they connect with others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Natalie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which approaches to try. That decision is made together and can change as therapy progresses to fit what the client finds most helpful.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls suit deeper conversations and the use of visual tools. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick verbal check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins, keeping momentum between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy around school, work and caregiving commitments.
