Nathan Holmes is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, stress and low self-esteem.

About Nathan

Nathan Holmes is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, stress and low self-esteem. He also supports those dealing with addiction and the knock-on effects for family members. Nathan works in a straightforward, down-to-earth way so conversations stay practical and relevant to everyday life.

He draws on seven years of experience, including recent work in a drug and alcohol service. That work involved supporting people in active addiction and helping family members cope with the impact.

Background and approach

He uses a humanistic, person-centred base to keep clients in control of their goals. Nathan combines client-centred listening with motivational interviewing to support change. He listens for what matters most to each person and helps them decide small, manageable steps forward.

Sessions aim to clarify choices and build momentum rather than deliver one-size-fits-all answers. People often come for help with relationships, grief, parenting strain, feelings of emptiness, panic attacks, or difficulties with communication and control. Nathan works with those concerns in simple, practical ways that people can try between sessions.

He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is listed as BACP. Nathan offers sessions in English and practises from the United Kingdom. He maintains a calm, approachable style and encourages people to take the first step when they feel ready.

How these approaches work online

Nathan uses Client-Centred Therapy and Motivational Interviewing as core ways of working. Client-Centred Therapy is built around listening without judgement and helping people set their own direction. It suits issues like low self-esteem, relationship troubles and grief where people need space to make sense of their feelings.

Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping someone find the reasons they want to change and turn those reasons into small steps. This approach is often helpful for drug or alcohol problems and for people who feel stuck or unsure about making changes.

Finding the right fit happens together. Nathan will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and help decide which approach or mix of approaches best supports you. He works collaboratively so the plan can change as you progress.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a meeting in person is difficult. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on days you do not want to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging suit short check-ins, ongoing reflection and flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, childcare or other demands while working with registered or accredited professionals.
