Nathan Dean, NCPS

Nathan Dean (NCPS) offers a calm, person-centred approach for people facing difficult life events. He focuses on creating a space where clients direct the conversation and explore what matters to them. Nathan aims to help with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and the everyday strains of life. He works with people living with long-term health conditions and the practical and emotional adjustments those bring.

Nathan brings together person-centred listening with techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and Jungian and narrative ideas. He aims to build sessions around what a client finds useful, guiding and challenging gently when helpful. He often uses practical tools such as life-mapping exercises and values work to make sense of what someone is facing.

He has four years of experience and lists a wide range of concerns he supports, including chronic pain and illness, cancer, ADHD, attachment and abandonment issues, and compassion fatigue. Nathan mentions his own experience of living with Crohn’s Disease and an ileostomy, which informs his understanding of living with disability and long-term health needs. This can help him discuss day-to-day adjustments and energy management with clients.

Nathan describes shorter packages such as a Mental Health MOT - a focused run of sessions to review life areas and set small goals. He also discusses pandemic-related concerns and how to approach isolation, boundaries and community for those being cautious about infection risks.

Sessions are offered in English and Nathan accepts international clients. To start, readers should use the site Start Therapy flow to match and schedule with him according to his availability.

How Nathan's approaches shape online work

Client-Centred Therapy is about following the client's lead and creating a space where the person decides what to focus on. It helps with feeling heard, exploring values, and making choices that fit everyday life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect, and offers practical steps to change patterns that cause distress; it can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is treated as a shared process. Nathan will discuss different ways of working and try ideas collaboratively to see what fits the client's goals, preferences and life circumstances. He adapts the balance between reflection and practical technique as sessions progress.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time, helping sessions fit around medical appointments, work or caring responsibilities. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick review is useful, or quieter conversations when less visual focus is needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use different methods to suit a person's needs, and Nathan aims to help people find a way of working that slots into their daily life rather than adding burden.
