About Nathan
Nathan Dean is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with people facing anxiety, stress and life transitions. He uses a person-centred style so sessions centre on the client’s experience. Nathan focuses on what matters to the individual and adapts the pace to suit them.
Nathan draws on several approaches to shape each session. He uses client-centred listening to understand a person’s world, and borrows techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to help with patterns of thinking and behaviour.
Background and approach
He also brings ideas from Jungian and narrative work when these fit the client’s needs. Sessions aim to be practical and grounded. People can expect to talk through current problems, try helpful ways of coping, and map out small steps that feel manageable.
Nathan describes an initial series of sessions as a chance to take stock and decide what to focus on next. He has four years of experience and holds NCPS as a credential. That combination supports his interest in working with issues such as grief, depression, self-esteem, addictions and trauma.
He also lists a range of additional focus areas including attachment concerns, chronic illness and neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome. Nathan accepts people from the UK and internationally and runs sessions online. He offers a flexible, client-led approach that aims to match each person’s needs, whether they want short check-ins or longer therapeutic work.
The first step is a short matching questionnaire to find a good fit and plan sessions.
How Nathan’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear and helps people discover what feels most useful for them. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings such as grief or anxiety.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses simple exercises and experiments to test unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits. This can be helpful for stress, anxiety, sleep problems and mood difficulties.
Nathan treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. He will check what the client wants, try out ideas together and adjust methods based on what works. Finding the right mix of listening and practical tools is part of the therapy itself.
Online work is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs. Video gives a face-to-face feel, phone needs less bandwidth, chat or messaging can fit short check-ins and written work, and messaging is useful for symptom tracking or brief reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around daily life and different routines.
