About Dean

Dean Gaylard helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. He works with a range of concerns including grief, trauma, addiction and issues around intimacy and identity. Dean is registered with NCPS and has seven years' experience in counselling practice in the United Kingdom.

He uses a client-centred approach focused on listening and responding to what each person brings. That means sessions concentrate on the client’s priorities and experiences rather than a fixed programme. He also uses hypnotherapy where appropriate, and sometimes incorporates guided imagery, breath work and meditative practice as tools to support regulation and calm.

Dean often supports people through life changes and caregiver strain, and works with issues such as codependency, dissociation, feelings of emptiness, and struggles with shame or guilt. He also addresses practical daily problems like sleep, eating patterns, anger and workplace stress in ways that connect to underlying emotional concerns.

Sessions aim to identify origins of difficulties and to develop ways of coping that fit each person’s life. Dean values the relationship in counselling and offers straightforward reflections and occasional perspectives when welcomed by the client. He accepts international clients and conducts work in English.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and are organised via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Client-Centred Work and Hypnotherapy translate to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening carefully and following the client’s priorities. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what the client says, checks understanding and adapts the pace to the client’s needs. It can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and coping with life changes.

Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to support change in patterns such as sleep, anxiety or cravings. In sessions the counsellor may use imagery and suggestion to help the client access calmer states and practice new responses to difficult thoughts or sensations.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk through options with the client and agree which methods to try based on needs, goals and personal preference. This is a collaborative process and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family commitments. It can allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and it can reduce travel and disruption to the day. Confirm the available session types and practical arrangements when you book.
