About Nicholas

Nicholas Mistiades Dunn is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS and has 25 years of professional experience in counselling, supervision and training. He supports adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and major life changes. Nicholas also lists a wide range of additional concerns he assists with, including addictions, self-esteem, ADHD and blended family issues.

He works in a straightforward way that aims to make conversations easy to follow. Sessions focus on what is happening now, what patterns keep repeating, and small steps that can reduce pressure at home. He uses practical dialogue and reflective listening to help people find clearer choices when emotions run high.

Nicholas draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and on long experience with people facing loss, family strain and work-related stress. He helps people untangle loyalties, adjust to new household roles, and manage conflict without taking sides. He can also support those coping with chronic illness, caregiver strain, or bereavement.

His background in supervision and training means he often clarifies how habits and communication styles develop over time. That perspective can make it easier to spot small, workable changes. Sessions aim to be concise and focused on everyday life demands.

Sessions are carried out in English and are based in the United Kingdom. Nicholas uses a subscription payment system that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary by location. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Evidence-based approaches and online working

Many of his methods focus on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that look at current patterns and practical change. One common approach is problem-focused work that identifies unhelpful cycles in thinking and behaviour and practices new responses to reduce stress and conflict. This can help with anxiety, relationship strain and day-to-day coping.

Another useful strand is loss-focused support that helps people process grief and make practical adjustments after bereavement or major life change. This approach uses careful conversation to name emotions and plan manageable next steps, rather than prolonged interpretation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss options with the client, tailor the pace, and agree on goals together. The focus is collaborative - finding methods that suit the person’s needs, situation and preferences rather than applying a single technique.

The profile does not specify which online formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make scheduling easier and help fit therapy into a busy week. They also allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed and reduce travel time, which helps people keep therapy practical alongside everyday responsibilities.
