About Nicholas

Nicholas Mistiades Dunn uses a straightforward, evidence-focused counselling approach to help people manage stress, anxiety and difficult life changes. He writes plainly and listens carefully, aiming to make sessions feel calm and practical. Nicholas has nearly 25 years of experience in counselling, supervision and training work in the United Kingdom.

He helps people talk through relationship strain, grief and loss, and the everyday pressures that sap confidence and self-esteem. He also supports those facing addictions, trauma and intimacy-related concerns. Nicholas works with clients on career stress, anger and parenting challenges, and with people exploring identity and LGBT issues.

In the room he focuses on clear, manageable steps rather than jargon. Conversations often look at coping strategies, better communication and small changes that make day-to-day life easier. He encourages realistic goals and checks progress as therapy continues.

Nicholas also has experience with longer-term or complex presentations such as bipolar conditions, ADHD and co-morbidity. He can help people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving stress, or the impact of adoption and attachment issues. His background in supervision and training means he can draw on a wide range of practical resources.

Sessions are offered in English and he practises from the United Kingdom. His professional registrations include BACP and NCPS, which are listed as his credentials. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.

Approaches that guide online work

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are central to his practice, used in plain and practical ways. One approach focuses on coping strategies and skills training to reduce anxiety and manage stress; this involves learning small, repeatable techniques to ease day-to-day pressure and improve emotional regulation. Another strand emphasises improved communication and problem-solving for relationship and career issues, helping people practise clearer ways to express needs and resolve conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to identify which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That process includes regular review so the plan can change if something isn’t helping.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy schedules and reduced travel time. Online work can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins or to schedule sessions around work breaks.
