About Nicholas
Nicholas Mistiades Dunn offers a straightforward, experience-based approach to counselling. He draws on almost 25 years of work in counselling, supervision and training to help people facing stress, anxiety, loss and relationship difficulties. Nicholas aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive for anyone who is nervous about reaching out.
He creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can speak about painful or confusing feelings. Sessions focus on practical ways to reduce overwhelm and improve everyday coping.
Background and approach
Conversations cover topics such as grief, self-esteem, addiction, anger and career worries. Over his career Nicholas has worked with a wide range of life challenges. He offers help around parenting pressures, caring for someone with illness, body image concerns, and issues linked to adoption or attachment.
He also supports people facing trauma, long-term health problems, or transitions such as retirement and ageing. Nicholas uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s needs. He combines listening with clear, simple strategies so people can try small changes between sessions.
The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Nicholas is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP and NCPS credentials.
He will help a person decide what to focus on and how to work toward clearer day-to-day coping.
How Nicholas adapts evidence-based approaches online
He draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping people manage emotions and change unhelpful patterns. One common approach he uses involves guided conversations to identify thoughts and behaviours that maintain anxiety and stress, followed by practical steps to test new ways of responding. This helps with worries, panic and everyday overwhelm.Another approach emphasises processing loss and trauma through careful pacing and support. Sessions aim to make distress easier to talk about and to develop strategies for coping with grief or past hurt. Both approaches are adapted to the pace and needs of each person rather than applied in the same way to everyone.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Nicholas will talk through goals, try different techniques and adjust plans based on what helps most. He treats the process as collaborative and checks in regularly about what’s working.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for in-depth work and visual connection. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, practical coaching and ongoing support between calls.
