Nicholas Mistiades Dunn, BACP, NCPS

Nicholas Mistiades Dunn is a counsellor with 25 years of professional experience. He supports people who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and life transitions. Nicholas creates a relaxed setting where clients can talk openly about difficult feelings without fear of judgement.

He has worked across many areas including addictions, self-esteem, trauma and intimacy-related concerns. He also helps people dealing with parenting pressures, career changes and health-related difficulties such as chronic illness or cancer. His practice includes work with neurodiversity issues, attachment and adoption-related challenges, and ageing and geriatric issues.

Nicholas draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and make practical changes. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on simple steps that can be tried between meetings. He pays attention to how past experiences shape current patterns, while helping people build coping strategies for the present.

Over his career he has also provided supervision and training alongside counselling. That background informs a thoughtful, reflective approach in sessions. Nicholas aims to support people through tough moments and to help them find clearer ways forward.

Clients meet with a counsellor who listens, asks plain questions and helps set achievable goals. To begin, a short matching process helps pair a person to the right support and align goals before scheduling sessions.

How evidence-based methods translate to online counselling

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear, practical steps and reflective conversation. For example, one approach emphasises identifying patterns in thoughts and behaviour and trying small, measurable changes between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another approach looks at how relationships and early attachments influence current difficulties and uses that understanding to change unhelpful patterns and improve connection.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist listens to the client's goals, reviews what has helped before, and together they decide which methods to try. Sessions can be adjusted over time if a different way of working seems a better fit.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by cutting travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or offering a way to meet when regular appointments are hard to arrange. Registered or accredited professionals can use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care and to support people through the same kinds of issues they would address in person.
