About Nicholas
Nicholas Mistiades Dunn is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS and has nearly 25 years of professional experience in counselling, supervision and training. He works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and loss, and the pressures of parenting. Sessions are presented in straightforward language and focus on practical ways to cope with life changes and ongoing difficulties.
He helps people talk through difficult feelings and recurring patterns. That includes issues around intimacy, self‑esteem, addiction, trauma and eating concerns. He also supports people dealing with career pressure, compassion fatigue, and complex situations such as adoption, abandonment and blended family challenges.
Nicholas draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations. He aims for clear, manageable steps rather than abstract theories. Sessions typically balance listening with practical suggestions and reflection on what has worked or not worked so far.
He has worked across supervision and training roles as well as direct counselling. That breadth means he often uses examples and exercises that come from long experience with different adults and presenting problems. His background includes supporting people through chronic health issues and caregiving stress.
People who come for help are often dealing with more than one issue at once. Nicholas treats those connections as part of the work and helps clients set short-term priorities alongside longer-term goals. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and a first session are used to agree what to focus on next.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Evidence-based techniques form the core of his work and are used in straightforward ways. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood. Behavioural techniques emphasise small practical changes and experiments to alter routine patterns that maintain problems such as avoidance or low activity.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try different techniques and agree what fits your needs and goals. That collaborative process helps decide which tools to use and when to adjust them.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around family or work life, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when needed. They also let people use quieter surroundings, avoid camera use when preferred, or choose a shorter session to fit a lunch break. Registered or accredited professionals aim to make sessions practical and accessible while you and the therapist decide the best way to work together.
