About Nicholas
Counsellor Nicholas Mistiades Dunn is a BACP and NCPS registered practitioner with 25 years of experience. He works in the United Kingdom and helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief and loss, and a wide range of related concerns.
He talks with people about what is happening now and what they want to change. Sessions cover practical coping, emotional processing and communication skills. He also supports people dealing with addictions, self-esteem, intimacy and the strain of caring for others.
His background includes long experience in counselling, supervision and training. That means he has worked in different settings and with many kinds of problems over the years. He draws on familiar, evidence-based ways of working to help people manage symptoms and make decisions.
Nicholas keeps sessions straightforward. He listens, asks questions, and helps people map small steps they can try between meetings. He also assists those managing life transitions such as career change, adoption and foster care issues, or chronic illness.
He offers support for people affected by trauma, attachment difficulties, autism traits, bipolar issues, and eating concerns. He can also help with anger, communication problems and coping after disaster or bereavement.
If you are unsure what to expect, Nicholas suggests an initial conversation to discuss your situation and what you hope to get from counselling. This helps decide whether to continue and how best to work together.
Approaches used and how online counselling can work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often include straightforward cognitive methods and structured emotional processing. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them in everyday life; they can help with anxiety, low mood and difficulty making decisions. Structured emotional processing involves naming and working through painful feelings in a guided way and can be helpful after loss, trauma or relationship strain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nicholas will discuss what techniques might fit your needs and goals. He treats this as a collaboration and will review what is helping and what is not as you go along.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the exact options before booking. Many people choose remote sessions because they can fit counselling into work breaks, avoid travel time and use shorter check-ins when needed. Other practical benefits are that sessions can be arranged around caregiving or medical appointments and may make regular contact easier to maintain. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which format will suit your situation when you arrange the first meeting.
