About Nathan
Nathan Holmes meets people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, addiction and big life changes. He writes in a plain way and aims to help people feel heard and understood. Nathan uses a person-centred approach so the client’s goals shape the work.
He has seven years of experience working across common mental health concerns. Much of his recent work involved supporting people affected by drug and alcohol problems and the relatives around them.
How Nathan works
That has given him practical experience with addiction, family strain and grief. Nathan practices using Client-Centred Therapy, which puts the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. He also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and to build momentum when motivation is low.
These methods are straightforward and conversational rather than prescriptive. Sessions are aimed at helping people manage panic, social anxiety, depression and feelings of emptiness or shame. Nathan also supports people with relationship and communication problems, issues around attachment and difficulties with control and boundaries.
He holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. Nathan offers sessions in English and works with adults based in the United Kingdom. Practical matters such as fees and scheduling are handled through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, someone completes a short matching questionnaire and then books sessions according to his availability. Nathan focuses on creating a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what matters to them.

Online support options
How his approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person's experience. Online, this means sessions prioritise what the client wants to address and follow their pace, whether that is exploring feelings or setting small goals. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and reduce resistance; in remote sessions it can be used to build motivation for steps such as reducing substance use or trying new coping strategies.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options with the client during early sessions and adapt methods to match needs, goals and preferences. This helps ensure the work feels relevant and manageable rather than prescribed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when movement or multitasking is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, journalling-style reflection and people who prefer typing. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, travel and family life while still using Client-Centred Therapy and Motivational Interviewing techniques in day-to-day support.
