About Dean

Dean Audsley works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression, and helps people manage life changes, addictions and ADHD. He uses a client-centred approach that focuses on the person's own perspective and strengths. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience.

He sees clients who are dealing with mood difficulties, panic and social anxiety, eating or sleeping problems, anger and issues around control and impulsivity. He also supports people with questions about identity, LGBT matters, forgiveness, guilt and shame. Sessions often focus on practical coping skills and clearer ways to make decisions about work, relationships and purpose.

Dean’s main ways of working include client-centred counselling, existential ideas about meaning, mindfulness techniques and solution-focused methods. In practice this means listening to the person’s priorities, exploring what matters to them, trying mindfulness exercises and setting small, achievable goals.

Sessions tend to be conversational and directed by what the client brings. The counsellor encourages reflection on patterns in thoughts and behaviour and helps people find steps they can try between sessions. Dean views the client as having expertise about their life and works alongside them rather than giving instructions.

He works in English and accepts international clients. The service is provided from the United Kingdom and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time.

How his approaches work in online counselling

Dean uses client-centred counselling to listen to what matters most to the person and to follow their priorities; this approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings or decisions. Existential ideas are used to look at meaning, choices and life direction, which can be useful for people questioning purpose or facing big changes.

Mindfulness techniques are offered as simple exercises to reduce stress and to increase awareness of thoughts and bodily sensations; these can help with anxiety, panic and sleep problems. The therapist combines these methods with solution-focused work that sets small, practical steps to try between sessions and reviews what helps.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss options during early meetings and agree what to try based on the client’s goals and preferences. Adjustments are made as progress is reviewed so the work stays relevant to the person’s situation.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow for different ways of checking in such as shorter conversations when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can use these flexible arrangements to support consistent, regular work without a daily commute.
