About Nicholas
Nicholas Mistiades Dunn is a counsellor registered with the BACP and NCPS and has 25 years of professional practice in the United Kingdom. He works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and loss, and other life changes. Sessions are described as a place to speak openly about difficult feelings without fear of judgement.
Over his career he has helped people with a wide range of concerns including self-esteem, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, eating difficulties, parenting strains, anger and career worries. He also supports clients facing neurodiversity and attachment challenges, such as autism, avoidant personality, attachment issues, and adoption or foster care matters.
Nicholas draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people understand patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. He works collaboratively to identify practical steps clients can try between sessions. This can include short exercises to reduce anxiety, ways to manage strong emotions, and methods to improve communication in close relationships.
He has experience offering supervision and training alongside direct counselling work. That background informs a reflective approach to practice and to how sessions are planned. Nicholas aims to be straightforward about what happens in sessions and to set clear, manageable goals with each person.
People who choose to work with him are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire to start. The process then moves to scheduling a first session so practical concerns and priorities can be discussed.
How evidence-based methods are used in online sessions
People can expect practical, evidence-based techniques that aim to reduce symptoms and improve everyday coping. Cognitive approaches look at how thoughts and beliefs influence feelings and behaviour and include simple exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Behavioural methods focus on gradual exposure and skills practice to help manage avoidance and build confidence in social or stressful situations.Finding the best approach is part of therapy. Nicholas works together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. That means trying approaches, checking what helps, and adjusting plans as needed so sessions remain relevant and manageable.
The therapist offers online work as part of his practice, but specific session formats should be confirmed before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family time, reduce travel, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera when that helps them engage more comfortably.
