About Nicholas

Nicholas Mistiades Dunn helps people manage stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties using evidence-based therapeutic techniques. He has nearly 25 years of professional counselling, supervision and training work experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).

Nicholas works with people on grief, self-esteem and coping with life changes. He also addresses addiction, trauma and intimacy-related concerns, as well as eating-related difficulties and parenting stress. He lists a wide range of additional focus areas, including attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and chronic illness and pain.

Sessions are described by him as open and non-judgemental. He aims to make it straightforward to talk through feelings and thoughts. The counselling room is used to explore patterns, reactions and options rather than to give quick fixes.

Across his career he has combined counselling practice with supervision and training roles. That background contributes to how he plans sessions and approaches complex or long-standing difficulties. His practice balances practical coping strategies with time to reflect on relationships and life choices.

Nicholas works in English and is based in the United Kingdom. He is listed with BACP and NCPS, and has extensive experience that spans clinical work, supervision and teaching. To begin, clients follow the site process to match with a counsellor and book a first meeting.

How his approaches translate to online work

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are central to his practice. That includes methods that focus on identifying patterns of thought and behaviour and practical strategies to manage symptoms. These approaches are used to help with stress, anxiety, addiction and relationship problems by teaching skills and encouraging reflection.

Another common strand is work that addresses grief and life transitions. This involves discussing what has changed, naming difficult emotions and planning manageable steps for coping. For trauma-related concerns he aims to pace sessions so difficult material is addressed carefully and with attention to what the client can manage.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work together. He will discuss different methods with the client and decide collaboratively which suits the person’s goals and preferences. That conversation can happen at the first appointment and be revisited as needs change.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the session formats available before booking. The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting appointments around work or family commitments, saving travel time, and offering shorter check-ins when that helps. He also notes that some formats can be easier for low-bandwidth connections or for clients who prefer not to use video.
