About Nathan
Nathan Dean is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief and the everyday pressures of parenting. He aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about what matters to them. Sessions are shaped around each person’s pace and needs rather than a fixed agenda.
Nathan uses a person-centred way of working, which means he listens first and follows what the client brings. He also draws on techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and narrative and Jungian ideas where these help make sense of patterns and feelings.
Background and approach
The goal is practical change - clearer thinking, steadier mood, and better ways to cope day to day. He has four years of practice and holds the NCPS credential. He usually works online with people in the United Kingdom and internationally, offering a range of session formats to suit different lives.
Sessions can focus on single issues or a broader check-in to see what is and isn’t working. Nathan often supports people dealing with loss, depression, addiction, trauma and difficult family dynamics. He also helps with sleep and eating concerns, anger, career strain and compassion fatigue.
Additional areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, ADHD and challenges related to chronic pain or illness. Many clients come for short-term focused work, such as the Mental Health MOT - a brief set of sessions to map priorities and make practical changes. Nathan encourages people to bring whatever feels important and to set the pace.
The work is collaborative, with gentle challenge when it helps move things forward.

Approaches that suit online therapy and parenting concerns
Client-centred work focuses on the person's experience and values the client’s own understanding of their life. It helps when someone needs a calm space to talk through parenting pressures, grief or changes without being steered by the therapist.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers simple strategies to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and change unhelpful habits through small practical exercises.
Narrative and Jungian ideas can help people put difficult events into a clearer story and find meaning in life changes. These approaches are useful when someone wants to make sense of patterns, identity shifts, or long-standing emotional themes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nathan treats this as a collaboration and will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and values. He checks in about what is helping and adapts the plan as needed.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy family lives and different energy levels. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier on hard days. Live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving or people who prefer typing to talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, childcare or medical routines without long travel.
