Nathan Staniford , BACP

Nathan Staniford brings ten years of counselling experience to his work with individuals and families across a range of life challenges. He has practised within four NHS Foundation Trusts and at a university, and he has run a private practice since 2018. Over the past decade he has supported people facing issues such as identity concerns, anxiety, family conflict, relationship difficulties, and grief and loss.

Nathan works to establish an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. He emphasizes collaboration and practical support, helping people take the difficult first steps toward greater fulfilment and wellbeing. He holds BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which connects him with national professional standards for counsellors in the United Kingdom.

Based in the United Kingdom, Nathan offers a calm, attentive presence and practical therapeutic approaches aimed at helping clients navigate change, process loss, and improve relationships. He is accepting new clients and also works with people internationally via remote sessions.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling and support

Nathan draws on client-centered therapy to place the person at the heart of the work, offering empathetic listening and helping clients explore their own values and goals in a supportive way. This approach is useful for people seeking understanding of identity, relationships, or emotional responses.

He also integrates mindfulness therapy, which encourages present-moment awareness and practical techniques to reduce stress and manage anxiety and overwhelming emotions. Mindfulness can be helpful for coping with grief, chronic stress, and rumination.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is decided collaboratively. Nathan will work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can be scheduled around work, family, and location constraints. Nathan provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose the format that feels most comfortable and practical for them. Licensed professionals and therapists have found that these remote formats support steady, effective work over time while making therapy easier to attend.
