About Nathan
Nathan Dean is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief and trauma. He uses a person-centred style that keeps the client’s experience at the centre of sessions. Nathan takes time to listen and help people find what makes sense for them.
He blends person-centred work with practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and other approaches. Sessions focus on what you want to discuss and move at a pace that suits you.
Background and approach
Nathan aims to guide and challenge when needed while keeping the tone non-judgemental. Nathan has four years of clinical experience and holds NCPS as a listed credential. He draws on a range of ideas to shape each person’s plan rather than following a single method.
This can include looking at patterns of thinking, personal stories, and symbolic material that helps make sense of feelings. He also offers support for people living with long-term health conditions and disability, including experience of life with a stoma and Crohn’s disease. That background informs how he talks about energy, daily adjustments and the practical impacts of illness.
Nathan offers brief focused work such as a six-session mental health review as well as longer-term therapy. International clients are supported and sessions are offered in English through video, phone, live chat or messaging. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own experience and values. The counsellor listens without directing, helping people make sense of feelings and decide what changes they want. This approach suits those who want a gentle, exploratory space to work through grief, low mood or life transitions.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical tools to identify unhelpful thinking and to try small behaviour changes. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression and habitual patterns such as sleep or eating difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nathan will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful for their goals and preferences. He adapts the mix of person-centred listening and CBT-style tools as the process unfolds, and checks in regularly to see what is working.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging offer short check-ins, written reflections or more flexible timing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility needs while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional understanding.
