About Nathan

Nathan Dean offers a calm, straightforward approach for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or life changes. He speaks plainly and meets people where they are, helping them talk through what matters most. Nathan aims to make sessions feel manageable, even when problems seem complex.

Nathan uses a person-centred way of working, which means conversations focus on the client’s experience rather than ready-made advice. He also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas and narrative and Jungian themes when those methods might help.

02

How Nathan works

Together with the client he chooses practical steps and gentle challenges that fit everyday life. He describes short programmes such as a Mental Health MOT - an initial set of sessions that map what is working and what needs attention. That kind of check-in can suit people who want an honest review rather than a long commitment.

Nathan explains ideas clearly and offers tools you can try between sessions. Nathan is open about living with a stoma and managing Crohn’s disease, and he uses that lived experience to better understand the impact of chronic illness and disability. He can explore how health issues affect energy, routines and relationships with work and family.

Sessions are available across the United Kingdom and to international clients. Nathan holds the NCPS credential and brings four years of counselling experience to his practice. He aims to provide steady, practical help for everyday problems and deeper issues alike.

Online support options

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centred work focuses on your experience and priorities, creating space to talk through what matters and make choices that suit your life. It helps with uncertainty, low mood and settling difficult feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage low mood and change unhelpful patterns.

Nathan will collaborate with each person to find the best approach. He listens to your goals and preferences, then suggests ways of working together. That may mean trying a short plan such as a Mental Health MOT, mixing person-centred listening with CBT tasks, or drawing on narrative ideas to reframe difficult stories. The choice is shared and can change as you progress.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video gives face-to-face interaction for richer conversation, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, caring duties and travel, and they let people choose the style that feels most manageable.

A practical next step

Write down two things you would want to be different in six months. That is the most useful thing to bring to a first session, whoever it is with. If you would rather start now than keep reading, online sessions are the quickest route.
