About Nathan
Nathan Holmes is a counsellor who helps people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and life changes. He works with worries such as panic attacks, addictions, grief and relationship strain. He aims to create a calm space where people can speak openly and decide what they want to work on.
He trained in a humanistic integrative style with a focus on Person Centred theory. This means the person sets the direction and he supports them rather than directing the process. He describes himself as warm, approachable and genuine in sessions.
Over seven years he has worked with a wide range of people, including time spent at a drug and alcohol service. That work included supporting people in active addiction and helping family members who were affected.
In practice he uses Client-Centred Therapy and Motivational Interviewing alongside integrative humanistic ideas to support motivation and self-direction. Sessions tend to focus on what matters most to the individual, practical steps and clearer thinking when emotions feel intense.
Nathan is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He offers counselling from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that suits them.
How Nathan’s approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s priorities first. It means the counsellor listens without judging, follows the person’s lead and helps them find their own solutions. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low self-esteem and panic when someone needs to feel heard and understood.Motivational Interviewing helps people explore mixed feelings about change and build motivation. It uses gentle questions and reflective listening to find practical reasons to keep trying, which can be helpful around addictions and making life changes.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Nathan will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process helps shape the pace and focus of sessions.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or sessions that do not require being on camera if that helps someone engage more comfortably.
