Nathan Dean, NCPS

Nathan Dean is a person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and changes in life. He works with concerns such as depression, low self-esteem, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, and a wide range of other struggles including ADHD and chronic illness. Nathan offers a space to talk through what matters to you without rushing or judgement.

He approaches therapy by following the client’s pace and priorities. That means listening closely to your lived experience and helping you make sense of it together. He draws on Client-Centred Therapy alongside techniques from cognitive behavioural approaches, Jungian ideas and narrative work to suit each person’s needs.

In practice Nathan uses practical tools where helpful alongside open conversation. This can include looking at patterns of thought and behaviour, reworking personal stories people tell themselves, and noticing how identity and life events shape day-to-day habits. He aims to guide and challenge appropriately while keeping the focus on what you want to address.

His background includes four years working in counselling, and he holds the NCPS credential. He also speaks openly from lived experience of chronic illness and stoma care, which informs his sensitivity to disability and long-term health challenges. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients.

If you want a calm, exploratory space to think about thoughts and everyday habits, Nathan invites you to begin with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that fits your needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping you steer the conversation. Online sessions using this approach usually mean the counsellor follows your priorities and supports you as you make sense of things.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful habits. Online CBT often includes short exercises between sessions and clear steps you can practise in daily life.

Nathan sees deciding which approach to use as a collaborative process. He will work with you to find what fits best based on your goals, preferences and the issues you bring. That may mean trying different ways of working and adjusting as you go.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work, health needs or family life, and it can reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when days are busy, or quieter sessions when bandwidth is limited. If you have questions about how sessions might work in practice, mention them when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule your first appointment.
