About Nathan
Nathan Dean is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. He works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and parenting pressures. He also lists areas including addiction, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, and ADHD among his focus areas.
Nathan describes his primary approach as person-centred. He invites people to talk through their lived experience rather than giving direct advice. Sessions are paced around what the person feels is useful, with guidance and challenge offered when it seems helpful.
He also brings in techniques from other approaches, including cognitive behavioural ideas and elements from Jungian and narrative thinking. These are used to help people reframe patterns, test new behaviours, and name recurring themes in their life story. Practical tasks and reflections are sometimes suggested between sessions.
Nathan speaks from lived experience of long-term health conditions and the adjustments they bring. He mentions working with people navigating illness, disability, or chronic pain and the everyday impact these have on energy, relationships and routines. He also notes a particular interest in abandonment and attachment concerns, communication and commitment issues.
He offers an initial option that looks like a focused check-in across a short number of sessions to map what is working and what might change. People who are juggling parenting, work and ongoing health needs may find this structured review helpful before committing to longer work. Sessions are conducted in English and Nathan sees people in the UK and internationally.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Nathan combines person-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression and parenting strain. Person-centred work focuses on listening, reflecting your experience and following what you bring to sessions. It helps clarify what matters to you and what you want to change. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and offers practical experiments and exercises to try between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nathan will discuss different ideas and together you will decide which methods suit your goals and day-to-day life. That collaborative choice can change as you go, with techniques added or set aside according to what helps.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. People often find remote sessions helpful because they fit around work and family routines, reduce travel time, and make it easier to hold shorter check-ins or regular appointments. Registered or accredited professionals can also adapt tasks and written reflections to suit remote meetings, helping the work continue between sessions.
