Nathan Dean, NCPS

Nathan Dean (NCPS) is a UK-based client-centered therapist who works with people across the world to explore life challenges such as grief, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, addiction, trauma, and a wide range of other concerns. He holds the NCPS credential, a professional registration credential, and frames therapy around the individual - focusing on each person’s lived experience rather than offering one-size-fits-all advice. Nathan blends a core client-centered stance with techniques from approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and gestalt to create a flexible, holistic way of working that responds to each person’s needs.

He offers short-term options like a Mental Health MOT - a focused six-session review that maps what is working and what could change using practical tools such as Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and the Japanese concept of Ikigai - and longer-term support when deeper exploration is preferred. Nathan describes himself as COVID conscious and supports clients navigating ongoing pandemic-related concerns, boundary setting, isolation, and community building. He also runs group sessions for people who identify with COVID cautious approaches.

Nathan draws on lived experience of Crohn’s Disease and living with an ileostomy stoma to inform his work with clients living with chronic illness and disability, helping them adapt daily routines, manage energy, and re-center priorities. He aims to make therapy a space shaped by the client’s pace and priorities, guiding and challenging where helpful while maintaining a non-judgemental atmosphere. Nathan is clear that he does not use artificial intelligence or large language models in his practice and directs those who want more information to www.pronoiacounselling.com.
