About Nathan

Nathan Dean works with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression and life changes using a person-centred approach that focuses on the client's experience. He is a member of NCPS and has four years' experience working with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Nathan keeps sessions focused on what the person wants to discuss. He prefers to explore experiences together rather than give direct advice. He may guide or challenge when useful, and he combines listening with practical tools from other approaches such as cognitive behavioural ideas and narrative techniques.

He offers short structured options such as a Mental Health MOT - a six-session review to map what is working and what could change. These check-ins use simple models like Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and Ikigai to help people clarify priorities and next steps.

Nathan writes from lived experience about long-term illness and disability and discusses how chronic conditions can affect daily life and energy. He welcomes conversations about adapting routines, managing boundaries, and practical strategies for coping with fluctuating health.

He also works with issues including addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, anger, career pressures, attachment and abandonment, autism and Asperger Syndrome, chronic pain and cancer-related distress. Sessions consider both feelings and practical adjustments.

Sessions are conducted in English and Nathan accepts international clients. He asks people to use the platform's matching process to book, complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Nathan uses therapeutic approaches in online work

Nathan combines person-centred work with techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and narrative therapy. Person-centred therapy focuses on exploring a person's lived experience and priorities rather than giving direct advice; it helps when someone wants to be heard and to make their own choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and can help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns. Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from their problems by looking at the stories they tell about their life and finding alternative narratives.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nathan will discuss options with each person and decide collaboratively which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That may mean using a mix of approaches and adjusting as the work progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to connect with a therapist from another country. Registered or accredited professionals aim to adapt sessions to someone's everyday life and practical constraints rather than require a specific setting.
