Nicholas Mistiades Dunn, BACP, NCPS

Nicholas Mistiades Dunn offers a calm, practical approach to counselling built on 25 years of experience. He creates space for people to say what feels hard to say. He aims to make the first steps easier for anyone feeling overwhelmed by change or loss.

He works with stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. Grief and coping after loss are central themes in his practice. He also supports people dealing with addictions, eating issues, ADHD and problems around intimacy and self-esteem.

Sessions often include straightforward conversation about what is happening now. He helps clients spot patterns that keep them stuck and tries out simple ways to change them. The work is collaborative - the client’s goals guide the pace and focus.

He has wider experience with concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, and caregiver stress. Other areas he supports include chronic illness, cancer-related distress, body image and blended family difficulties.

Nicholas is listed with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and NCPS, the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. He practises in the United Kingdom and holds appointments as a counsellor and supervisor.

If you want to begin, the usual next step is to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a session according to the therapist’s availability.

Approaches you might meet in online work

Many of his sessions use evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on the here and now. One common approach is straightforward talk therapy that helps identify patterns of thought and behaviour and tests simple changes to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. This is useful for stress, low mood and relationship concerns.

Another often-used method focuses on coping with grief and loss. It involves naming the loss, working through practical responses and building routines that help people manage difficult days. This approach can also help with life transitions and chronic illness-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss options with you and decide together which techniques fit your goals and preferences. That shared planning helps shape each session and the pace of change.
