Nicholas Mistiades Dunn, BACP, NCPS

Nicholas Mistiades Dunn is a counsellor registered with the BACP and NCPS and has nearly 25 years of professional experience in counselling, supervision and training. He works with adults on practical problems such as stress, anxiety, relationships, grief and anger. Sessions aim to help people talk through pressures and find clearer ways to cope.

In the room he focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. He helps people name their feelings, spot patterns that keep repeating, and try different responses in everyday situations. That can mean working on communication, managing strong emotions like anger, or finding ways to live with ongoing pressures such as chronic illness or grief.

His background includes long experience across counselling, supervision and training roles. That variety means he is used to thinking about problems from a few angles and offering down-to-earth tools alongside reflective discussion. He also draws on knowledge about relationship strain, parenting concerns and issues linked to identity, including LGBT matters.

Nicholas pays attention to practical life demands. He will help you weigh options and practise new ways of responding to frustrating or painful situations. This can be useful for workplace stress, resentments at home, or repeated patterns that affect close relationships.

People who come to him are adults wanting to manage emotions and make changes that fit their life. He encourages honest talk about what is and is not working, then works with each person to set realistic next steps and check progress over time.
