Nicholas Mistiades Dunn, BACP, NCPS

Nicholas Mistiades Dunn is a counsellor with nearly 25 years of experience supporting people through difficult life moments. He focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and loss. Nicholas aims to create an open space where people can talk about thoughts and feelings without fear of being judged.

He works collaboratively to help people make changes that matter to them. That might include talking through coping strategies for chronic pain, navigating identity and intimacy concerns, or managing the impact of job stress and burnout. He also helps with issues such as addictions, eating concerns, ADHD and complex grief.

Over his career Nicholas has offered counselling, supervision and training, so he brings a practical sense of what has helped others in real life. He is experienced in supporting people facing health challenges and long-term conditions, including chronic illness and caregiver stress.

Sessions focus on what the individual wants to change and on small, realistic steps towards those goals. Nicholas pays attention to how life events, family background and attachment can shape current difficulties, and he uses this to guide the work.

People who choose to work with him can expect an honest, straightforward style and steady support while they try different ways of coping. He encourages people to take the pace that feels right and to build tools they can use outside sessions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online support

Evidence-based techniques often focus on helping people understand thoughts and behaviour, and on developing practical coping steps. For example, approaches that help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns aim to make those thoughts easier to notice and change, which can reduce anxiety and low mood. Another common approach looks at past relationships and attachment styles to help explain current relationship patterns and improve communication and intimacy.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. That means trying different ways of working and adapting the plan as progress is made.

If you are interested in online therapy, check the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need lower bandwidth options. Registered or accredited professionals can use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult, while focusing on practical steps that can be used between sessions.
