Dean Gaylard, NCPS

Dean Gaylard is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with adults facing worries such as stress, anxiety, low self esteem, depression, anger and coping with life changes. Sessions are presented as a place to talk without pressure and to begin practical work on issues that matter in daily life.

Dean uses an approachable, client-focused style that draws on Client-Centred Therapy and hypnotherapy. He often offers guided imagery, breath work and simple meditative practices when these are helpful for calming the nervous system. He also brings perspectives from complementary approaches he has used in practice.

In sessions he listens for what matters most to each person and helps them notice patterns that keep problems repeating. He will work on recognising triggers for anger or anxiety, building skills to manage stress, and exploring self-esteem and relationship concerns. The focus is on steps people can try between sessions as well as what to do during a difficult moment.

Dean recognises reaching out can feel intimidating and aims to be direct and down-to-earth in session. He supports people who are dealing with grief, trauma, addiction concerns, parenting stress, sexuality or identity matters, and other listed areas. He also helps with issues such as guilt, codependency, dissociation and feelings of emptiness.

Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. Costs vary with location and are managed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
