About Nathan
Nathan Dean NCPS is a person-centred counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. He works with adults on common and complex concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, self-esteem, addictions, relationship and family issues, and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Nathan accepts clients internationally.
Nathan focuses on exploring each person's lived experience rather than handing down advice. He uses a person-centred stance to listen, reflect, and help people work out what fits their life. Where useful, he brings in techniques from other approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy and gestalt to support that work.
He offers a short structured option called a Mental Health MOT, a six-session review to map what is working and what could change. Tools from Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs or the Japanese idea of Ikigai may be used to help identify priorities and next steps. This can suit people who want a clear review rather than open-ended therapy.
Nathan also describes himself as COVID conscious and is willing to discuss the particular strains of living with ongoing pandemic-related concerns. He can explore isolation, boundary setting, and finding community in relation to those worries.
Living with long-term health conditions is part of Nathan's own experience, and he mentions Crohn's disease and life with a stoma. He uses that perspective when supporting people who have chronic pain, illness, disability or complex practical needs.
His practice is conversational and reflective. Nathan will guide and challenge when appropriate, while helping each person identify practical steps they can try between sessions.
How sessions work
How his approaches inform online work
Nathan combines a person-centred approach with elements of cognitive behavioural therapy to help people make sense of their feelings and try practical changes. Person-centred work focuses on listening to a person's experience and shaping sessions around what matters to them. Cognitive behavioural techniques break down thoughts, feelings and behaviours and can be useful for managing anger, anxiety and low mood.He also draws on narrative ideas to help people rehearse different stories about themselves and their relationships, which can shift how painful events are viewed. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work; Nathan says he will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and circumstances.
If you are considering remote sessions, check the platform's available formats before booking since the biography does not list specific session types. Many people find online work easier to fit into a busy week, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and can reduce travel time. Nathan frames online sessions as a way to keep therapy practical and integrated into everyday life while adapting methods like CBT and narrative exercises for a remote setting.
