About Ian
Ian Deslow is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. He works with concerns such as depression, grief, addictions and self-esteem, and supports people facing workplace pressure, relationship strain and sleep problems. Ian uses plain language and a calm style so conversations are easy to follow.
He practises a person-centred approach that puts the client’s experience first. That means sessions focus on what matters to the person and move at their pace.
Background and approach
Ian also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy techniques to help spot unhelpful thinking and test new ways of coping. Ian has four years of experience working in a range of settings and with teams of different sizes. His listed credential is NCPS which he uses alongside his practical experience to guide sessions.
He offers appointments at varied times including mornings, afternoons, evenings and some weekends. Sessions are offered online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. International clients who speak English are welcome to work with him.
Therapy uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. If someone chooses to start, they complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a time that suits them. Ian aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can speak openly and work towards clear, manageable goals.
How Ian's approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they connect or pull away from others and can be useful for intimacy issues and attachment concerns. Client-Centred Therapy centres the person's experience and emphasizes being heard without judgement; this approach suits people who want a calm, accepting space to talk through worries.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Ian will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt methods as needed. Together they will test what helps most, combining person-centred listening with practical CBT techniques when that fits the client’s needs.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on busy days. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, more frequent touchpoints. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family commitments while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
