Nathan Dean, NCPS

Nathan Dean works with people who are carrying stress, anxiety, grief or major life changes. He uses a person-centred way of working that aims to follow each person’s pace and priorities. Sessions focus on what matters to the client, whether that is managing mood, addiction, sleep, or relationship and intimacy concerns.

Nathan brings four years of experience to his practice and holds NCPS. He mixes client-centred listening with ideas drawn from cognitive behavioural approaches, Jungian thinking and narrative work. This lets him adapt to the individual rather than use a one-size-fits-all model.

In a typical session Nathan listens to what has been collected along a person’s life journey and then helps name patterns and choices. He guides and challenges where helpful, and works with practical strategies for things like coping with low mood, improving sleep, or handling workplace stress.

He also focuses on specific areas such as ADHD, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and chronic illness or pain. Nathan notes lived experience with a stoma and long-term gastrointestinal illness, and is attentive to how physical health can affect emotional energy and day-to-day routines.

Nathan offers short programmes such as a Mental Health MOT for people who want a focused review of what’s working and what might change. People curious about how his approach could fit for them are encouraged to check the booking pathway and pick a slot that suits their circumstances.

How Nathan’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and working at the client’s pace. It is useful for people who need space to make sense of feelings like grief, anxiety or low mood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical tools for problems such as anxiety, sleep issues and low mood. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from their difficulties by re-authoring life stories and identifying alternative meanings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nathan will collaborate with each person to decide what feels most helpful. Together they consider goals, preferences and what techniques fit the issue being addressed, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, medical appointments or caregiving, and it can reduce travel time. It also allows for check-ins, focused short sessions or longer therapeutic review work like a Mental Health MOT, depending on what the client and therapist agree will be most useful.
