About Norma
Norma Augustin is a counsellor who uses practical therapy to help people under stress. She draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and trauma-focused work to tackle anxiety, low mood and the fallout from abuse. Norma has six years of professional experience in the UK and offers sessions in English.
Norma aims to make the first step feel manageable. She creates a calm space where people can talk about painful memories, grief or daily pressures without judgment.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear aims and small, achievable changes that fit everyday life. Her work often looks at how past experiences shape present reactions. Psychodynamic ideas help explore those patterns, while CBT offers tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Trauma-focused methods are used when past harm still affects current wellbeing. Norma also supports those dealing with identity and relationship difficulties, including abandonment, attachment issues, multicultural concerns and the effects of discrimination. She addresses problems like self-harm, codependency and struggles with life purpose in straightforward language.
Therapy is offered through a mix of video, phone, live chat and text messaging. Norma uses these formats to fit around busy lives and to keep conversations accessible. To begin, people complete a short online questionnaire and book sessions according to the service process.

Therapeutic approaches online and practical support
Norma commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress because it gives clear tools to use between sessions.She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. This helps when early experiences influence how someone reacts now. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past harm continues to affect daily life, using focused work to reduce the hold of those memories.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Norma will discuss options and adapt methods to the person's goals and situation. Together they decide what feels most useful and change the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging offers practical benefits. Video sessions give a face-to-face feeling for weekly work. Phone calls can fit into a lunch break and need less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family life while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
