Dean Audsley helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed or overwhelmed by life changes. He supports those dealing with grief, low self-esteem, addictive patterns, eating or sleeping problems, and mood or panic difficulties. He also addresses challenges linked to identity and LGBT concerns, career strain, ADHD and anger.

Dean uses a simple and respectful style. He listens first and follows what each person brings to the session. He treats the client as the expert in their own life and looks for strengths to build on.

Background and approach

In sessions he may draw on client-centred work to make space for what matters most to the person. He also uses mindfulness techniques to help calm the body and focus attention. Solution-focused tools help set clear, achievable steps when someone wants practical change.

Dean has four years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. He works with people who want straightforward, down-to-earth support rather than lengthy theory. Conversations tend to be practical, warm and goal-minded.

Online and remote formats are available including video, phone, live chat and text messaging. Sessions are run via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book according to the therapist's schedule.

Practical approaches for online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist provides a non-judgemental space and follows the person’s lead, which helps when someone needs to feel heard about stress, grief or low self-esteem.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce anxious thoughts and improve sleep and mood. These practices are short and can be used between sessions to manage panic or overwhelming feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and together they will choose what fits the person's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can change over time as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy fit everyday life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and text messaging helps with brief reflections between appointments. These options give flexibility for people balancing work, family and other commitments.
