Nathan Holmes , BACP

Nathan Holmes holds BACP credentials - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings seven years of experience working with a diverse range of clients. He specialises in anxiety and depression, and supports people dealing with low self-esteem and difficulties with self-image. Over the last couple of years he has worked in a drug and alcohol service, assisting those in active addiction as well as supporting their family members.

Trained in a humanistic integrative style with a focus on person-centred theory, Nathan frames therapy so that the client sets the direction and he facilitates the process. He aims to be warm, approachable and genuine, helping people explore issues such as relationship and family problems, grief, parenting concerns, attachment and abandonment, and challenges with control, isolation or shame. Nathan works collaboratively to clarify goals and build practical coping strategies for life changes, panic and social anxiety, and struggles around meaning and self-love. He welcomes clients who are ready to begin addressing the issues that matter most to them.

Client-Centered and Motivational Online Support

Nathan uses client-centered principles to place the person's own goals and experience at the heart of therapy, offering an accepting and empathic environment where the client leads the direction of change. This approach is well suited to issues like low self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, grief, and general life transitions.

He also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people who feel ambivalent about change, such as those dealing with drug or alcohol addiction. Motivational Interviewing focuses on exploring a person's values and reasons for change, helping to strengthen commitment and clarify next steps in a collaborative way.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Nathan will work with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support while balancing everyday commitments.
