About Nathan
Counsellor Nathan Connor is BACP registered and has three years of clinical experience. He works with people in the United Kingdom who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and major life changes.
Nathan uses person-centred ways of working. He focuses on listening and helping people talk through what matters to them. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical, with time to name feelings and consider small steps forward.
He has supported carers and people affected directly or indirectly by cancer. That experience shapes his approach to caregiver stress and to loss related to long illness. He also helps with guilt, shame, isolation and questions about life purpose and men's issues.
Nathan trained at master's level in counselling and psychotherapy, and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. He brings three years of practice to each session and uses that experience to guide conversations rather than to prescribe solutions.
Before a first session he asks people to say what they hope to work on. In meetings he focuses on clear questions, reflective listening and helping people identify next steps they can try between sessions. That practical emphasis is suited to someone who wants straightforward support for everyday problems.
Therapeutic approaches and how online counselling can help
Person‑centred counselling is at the core of his work. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting back what someone says and helping them to make sense of their own thoughts. It suits people who want space to talk and to be heard without being told what to do.He also draws on evidence‑based techniques that help with stress and anxiety. These are practical ways to spot unhelpful patterns, try small changes and track results over time. For grief and trauma he uses steady, paced conversations to help someone manage strong emotions and recall what matters to them.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss different methods and agree what to try based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.
Confirm the exact session formats available before booking. The profile does not list specific formats, so check which options are offered when you sign up. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time and have a shorter check‑in when needed. It also lets people choose a quieter time of day and reduces the need to arrange transport, which helps some people keep therapy consistent.
