Nicholas Mistiades Dunn uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people facing stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. He is clear and straightforward in sessions and focuses on practical ways to manage emotions. Nicholas has 25 years of experience in counselling, supervision and training in the United Kingdom.
He helps people work through grief and loss and cope with big life changes. He also supports those dealing with addiction, low self-esteem, trauma and intimacy-related concerns.
Background and approach
His approach is conversational but purposeful, aiming to identify small steps that make everyday life easier. Nicholas pays attention to how past experiences affect current reactions, including attachment, abandonment and adoption-related issues. He also works with people facing long-term health problems, caregiver strain, and the emotional effects of cancer or chronic illness.
He will talk through how these issues influence mood, behaviour and relationships. Sessions often focus on improving communication, managing anger, and setting realistic goals for work and family life. He can also support people wrestling with eating concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
The work is collaborative and paced to each persons needs. People can expect straightforward feedback, practical coping strategies and options for follow-up. Nicholas blends his years of practice with a calm, non-judgemental style.
He aims to make therapy understandable and useful from the first meeting.
Evidence-based approaches and online therapy
Two evidence-based approaches Nicholas uses are straightforward behavioural techniques and grief-informed therapy. Behavioural techniques focus on small changes in daily habits and reactions to reduce anxiety and improve mood, helping with stress, panic and anger. Grief-informed work concentrates on understanding loss and its effects, offering ways to manage intense emotions and rebuild routines after bereavement or major life change.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Nicholas will discuss different methods and help decide what fits a person's goals, preferences and situation. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve during therapy.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more depth is helpful. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Text and live chat suit shorter updates, ongoing support or people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
