About Nathan Dean
Nathan Dean is a UK-based person-centered therapist who works with clients around the world, offering a calm and collaborative approach to emotional and practical challenges. He draws primarily on client-centered principles - focusing on the client’s own experience and priorities - while integrating techniques from other modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy and gestalt to create a tailored, holistic approach. Nathan holds the NCPS credential, a professional registration indicating qualification in counselling and psychotherapy.
Nathan supports people through a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, addictions, and challenges with self-esteem, intimacy, eating, sleeping, and parenting. He also works with people facing life changes, career difficulties, anger, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and longer-term conditions such as chronic pain or illness. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, cancer, hoarding, dissociation, guilt and shame, and experiences of being hearing impaired.
He offers different ways to engage with therapy depending on what suits each person’s life and needs. Nathan also invites shorter-term options such as a Mental Health MOT - an initial set of sessions to map out what is working and what might need attention using practical frameworks like Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs or Ikigai. As a Covid-conscious practitioner living with a stoma and personal experience of Crohn’s disease, he is familiar with the adjustments and concerns that come with chronic illness and cautious approaches to public health, and he runs group sessions for people managing similar issues.
Nathan emphasizes that therapy is the client’s time - conversations proceed at a comfortable pace, and he will guide and challenge where helpful. He makes a clear practice commitment that artificial intelligences and large language models are not used in his work, reflecting his approach to how sessions are conducted and the therapeutic relationship.

Approaches that guide online therapy sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the client’s lived experience and supports change by creating a respectful, non-directive space where the client’s goals and insights lead the work. It is helpful for people seeking to explore identity, relationships, self-worth, and life transitions without being steered by prescriptive techniques.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that helps identify and shift patterns of thinking and behaviour that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. It offers tools for managing unhelpful thoughts, building coping strategies, and establishing new habits that support day-to-day functioning.
Jungian Therapy attends to deeper themes, personal meaning, and symbolic material in a person’s life story. This approach can be useful for those who want to work with dreams, identity, and the narratives that shape long-standing emotional patterns.
Nathan approaches the choice of method as a collaborative process - he and the client consider needs, goals, and preferences together and adapt techniques over time to find the best fit. This flexibility helps ensure therapy remains relevant and responsive.
Online therapy with Nathan uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer practical flexibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, access support from different locations, and continue work through life changes while maintaining regular contact with a registered professional.
