Norma Augustin
Practical therapy for anxiety, trauma and grief
About Norma
Norma Augustin is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who uses straightforward, evidence-informed approaches to help people work through stress, anxiety, trauma and grief. She draws on six years of clinical experience and uses practical methods to support people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. Norma emphasises a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about difficult feelings.
Sessions focus on what is happening now and on steps that make a difference in day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Conversations are kept simple and direct so people can try out new ways of coping between meetings. Her practice brings together Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, psychodynamic ideas and trauma-focused work. That mix allows exploration of current thinking patterns alongside older life experiences that still matter now.
Norma adapts the pace to each person and helps them notice small changes that add up over time. She has experience supporting people with grief and loss, depression, and the emotional effects of abuse. Additional areas of focus include abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment difficulties, codependency, and communication problems.
Norma also attends to multicultural and prejudice-related issues that affect wellbeing. Sessions may also address life purpose, money worries, cancer-related concerns, self-harm thoughts, and young adult transitions. Norma works in English and follows the standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Norma draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours; this approach is practical and suits anxiety, depression and everyday stress. Psychodynamic therapy is used to look at how past experiences and relationships influence current feelings and reactions; this helps when someone wants to understand recurring patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy is applied when past harm affects day-to-day life, using techniques that safely address painful memories and their emotional impact.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Norma will discuss your goals, preferences and history and then recommend a way forward. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made or needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit a quick check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, study and family life while keeping the focus on steady progress.
