About Dean
Counsellor Dean Audsley is a BACP member with four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression, and helps people dealing with life changes and motivation issues.
Dean invites people to talk through difficult moments and to build on their existing strengths. He treats the person as the expert on their own life and works alongside them to identify steps that are realistic and useful. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical rather than theoretical.
His approach draws on client-centred ways of working, which focus on a person’s experience in the room and on listening closely. He also uses solution-focused techniques to help set short-term goals and notice small changes faster. Mindfulness ideas are introduced to help manage stress and anxiety in everyday moments.
Dean has supported people with a broad range of concerns beyond mood, including addictions, eating and sleeping problems, anger and control issues. He also works with issues such as guilt, shame, isolation and finding life purpose. He is able to work with LGBT concerns and mood disorders including bipolar and panic problems.
Sessions are offered in English and Dean accepts international clients. He asks new clients to use the site matching questionnaire to book an initial appointment and to check the practical session arrangements before their first meeting.
How his therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says. It helps people feel heard and organise their thoughts when dealing with anxiety, grief or low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps and existing strengths. It is useful when someone wants to set short-term goals or find ways to manage day-to-day problems.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options with the client and try things out together. This is a collaborative process that takes account of the client’s needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing a single method.
Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also make it simpler to continue work with a counsellor if someone has moved or is living abroad. Confirm the available session formats and practical details before your first appointment.
