Natalie Janinski, ACA

Natalie Janinski is a lived experience practitioner who brings experiential therapy to people seeking more rapid shifts in emotional patterns. She is trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) - Level 1 and in Coherence Therapy, two experiential models that engage the brain's natural memory reconsolidation process. These approaches aim to transform traumatic memories in ways that can lessen symptoms such as anxiety, people pleasing, self-sabotage and depression for some individuals.

Natalie also integrates evidence-based somatic interventions tailored to each person's needs, including yoga-informed movements, breathwork, polyvagal techniques and mindful focusing. This combination of experiential and body-centred methods supports work with stress, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, and related concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, dissociation and eating or food-related difficulties.

She holds the credential ACA as listed. Connecting with a therapist who feels like a good fit is emphasised in her practice, and prospective clients are invited to arrange a brief email conversation to ask questions and explore suitability before beginning work together.

Experiential and Somatic Approaches Delivered Online

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an experiential model Natalie is trained in that explores internal parts and how they relate to each other. It can help people understand patterns like people pleasing, self-sabotage and internal conflict by working directly with those inner parts in a gentle, structured way. Coherence Therapy focuses on accessing the emotional learnings that drive symptoms and uses memory reconsolidation to support meaningful change, which can be useful for trauma-related and persistent emotional difficulties. Natalie's practice also uses somatic techniques - such as yoga-informed movement, breathwork, polyvagal-informed exercises and mindful focusing - to help the body and nervous system be part of the healing process.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Natalie collaborates with each person to identify which methods match their needs, goals and preferences, adapting pace and techniques as the relationship unfolds. This collaborative process helps decide whether experiential or somatic work, or a blend, is the best fit.

Online therapy with Natalie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing practical flexibility for scheduling and access. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, manage time commitments and engage in therapy from familiar environments while working with appropriately qualified or registered professionals and therapists.
