About Natalie
ACA, 3 years' experience. Natalie Janinski is an ACA counsellor with three years of practice in Australia. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family issues, trauma and abuse, and anger. Her work also addresses abandonment, attachment difficulties, eating and food-related issues, codependency, and related concerns.
Natalie describes herself as a lived experience practitioner. She uses experiential therapy and names Internal Family Systems at Level 1 and Coherence Therapy as approaches she has trained in. She explains these models as methods that work with memory reconsolidation to reduce symptoms such as anxiety, people pleasing, self-sabotage and depression.
Alongside those approaches, Natalie uses somatic interventions. These include yoga-informed movements, breathwork, polyvagal techniques and mindful focusing. She says some people find experiential and somatic work brings faster change than talk-only counselling.
Sessions are presented as collaborative and practical. Natalie encourages people to ask questions and to arrange a brief chat to see if the fit feels right. She invites prospective clients to contact her to clarify how she works before booking.
Her stated aim is to offer focused, experiential tools alongside body-based techniques. This includes working on communication problems, control issues, dissociation, emptiness, guilt and shame, forgiveness and family problems. The text uses plain language about what happens in sessions and what areas she addresses.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Internal Family Systems involves noticing different parts of a person and how those parts relate to one another. It can help with inner conflict, people pleasing and patterns that keep repeating. Coherence Therapy focuses on changing the emotional memories that maintain symptoms; it aims to bring a rapid shift in how past material affects present behaviour.She also uses somatic techniques such as breathwork, polyvagal-informed exercises and gentle movement. These techniques focus on body sensations and regulation, and they are commonly used alongside experiential work for anxiety, dissociation and trauma responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Natalie will talk with each person about goals and preferences and agree a method together. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change if something is not working.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also means techniques that involve breathwork or gentle movement can be guided remotely, while adjustments are made to suit each person.
