About Nathan
Nathan Dean, NCPS, is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and family difficulties, and life changes. He also offers support around addiction, sleep and eating concerns, anger, career questions, compassion fatigue and ADHD. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients.
Nathan uses a person-centred style that keeps the client’s experience at the centre of sessions. He invites clients to describe what matters to them and then helps them notice what’s working and what is not. He sometimes brings in practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts and habits. Narrative and Jungian ideas also inform his work when clients want to explore life stories and deeper symbolic themes.
He describes short focused options such as a “Mental Health MOT” - an initial block of sessions to map current strengths and pressures and to set small, achievable goals. He encourages people to try concrete experiments between sessions, such as testing new ways of responding to stressful situations or changing sleep routines. He also offers guidance for people managing chronic illness, disability, or long-term health conditions, drawing on his personal experience living with a stoma.
Nathan aims to be direct when needed and to challenge gently where that can help move things forward. He uses straightforward discussion, practical exercises, and written reflection to build new habits. He can work with concerns linked to abandonment, attachment, communication problems, dissociation, hoarding, and related themes.
People considering therapy are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session. Nathan notes that he will not use artificial intelligence tools in his practice and that sessions focus on the person in front of him rather than on prescriptive advice.
How his approaches translate to online work
Person-centred therapy focuses on what matters to the client and on their lived experience. Online sessions let clients describe their situation and priorities while the counsellor follows their lead and helps clarify next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides practical steps to notice thoughts and try different behaviours. In remote sessions this can mean setting short experiments between appointments, reviewing results, and adjusting actions to reduce anxiety or improve sleep. Narrative and Jungian ideas look at stories and symbols that shape a person’s life and can be discussed in depth during video or audio conversations. These approaches help with grief, identity questions and long-running patterns.
Finding the right method is part of the work. He discusses options with clients and chooses approaches together, based on goals, preferences and what seems to help in early sessions. That collaborative process helps shape whether more structured CBT tasks or open, exploratory sessions are used.
The therapist’s biography does not specify session formats here, so confirm the exact online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove the need to travel. They also allow practical exercises and written reflection to be reviewed between appointments, helping clients apply new habits in daily life.
