About Me & EFT
Big love isn't just for the movies.
It’s for the real-life you with laundry to do, kids shrieking, a partner who loads the dishwasher all wrong, and an inbox that never empties.
It’s also for the part of you that wants more.
More clarity. More ease. More depth.
More of you in your love life.
I’m Natalie Claire King (she/her), a certified Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) therapist based in Wodonga, Victoria, Dhudhuroa Country, working with individuals and couples across the Albury–Wodonga region.
I offer in-person and online therapy for people who want to create love lives that actually feel good to live in — from a calm, private home space (occasionally shared with Sancho, my very gentle and very fluffy ragdoll cat).
Not perfect.
Not performative.
But honest, secure, and sometimes even… fun.
The Real Story
Like a lot of couples, my partner and I hit a point where love wasn’t quite enough to carry us through. Patterns we couldn’t shift. Fights that looped. That “here we go again!” feeling.
This happened, of course, while I was studying to become a couples therapist. (Cute).
It was working with an Emotionally Focused Therapist that actually started to help us get out of negative cycles and become more secure in our relationship. We learned how to catch ourselves before spiralling, how to talk more vulnerably and less defensively, and how to rebuild trust in the small, everyday moments. Experiencing EFT as a client showed me exactly the kind of therapist I wanted to be: attuned, grounded, and confident in getting to the heart of disconnection.
How I Work
As a therapist, I bring a calm, warm and curios energy into sessions. A presence that helps you slow down, feel seen and send clear emotional signals to those closest to you.
With over seven years working with clients (and a former life in journalism and marketing) I’m equal parts heart and head. I’m here to help you understand your patterns, reconnect with your emotional self, and build relationships that finally feel aligned, securely attached, and good to live in, whether that’s with yourself or others.
I believe therapy should feel safe. A space where you’re met where you’re at, where you can say the things you’ve never quite known how to say,
Where your anger, longing, grief or confusion aren’t too much. And your silence, your “I don’t know,” or your blankness aren’t failures.
They’re signals.
And we make sense of them together.
A space where you leave clearer and more connected to what you feel. And more able to show up in your relationships with steadiness and choice.
I bring the calm when your brain is loud, the warmth when your guard is up, and the kind of presence that lets you say the thing you thought you’d never say out loud. Come as you are — messy, moody, or mid-cry.

What is Emotionally Focused Therapy?
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a research-backed, attachment-based model of therapy that helps people create secure, meaningful relationships — with themselves and with others.
Developed by clinical psychologist Dr. Sue Johnson, EFT has been shown to be the most effective approach to couples therapy to date with research showing 90% of couples experience improvement, and 75% report feeling out of relationship distress entirely.
At its heart, EFT recognises that we’re wired for connection—and that conflict often stems from deeper emotional needs going unmet (not just surface-level disagreements about laundry or screen time). Many of us learned that having needs makes us “too much” or “needy” but EFT gently challenges that conditioning and helps you express those needs in a way that invites closeness, not conflict.
For couples: EFT helps break painful communication cycles, rebuild trust after rupture, and create emotional safety that leads to deeper intimacy.
For individuals: EFT supports you to recognise and heal emotional patterns that keep you stuck, so you can move toward relationships that are secure, self-led, and aligned with who you truly are.
Whether you’re navigating conflict, healing after betrayal, or just longing for something more, EFT meets you with clarity, compassion, and lasting change. It’s not about perfection. It’s about presence.
As an EFT therapist based in Wodonga, I integrate this approach into both individual and couples therapy, supporting clients across Albury–Wodonga to create more secure, connected relationships.
