About Nathan
Nathan Holmes works with people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, or addiction. He aims to make the first steps simple and straightforward. Conversations are calm and practical so people can talk about what matters most to them.
Nathan is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He has seven years' experience and has spent recent years supporting people affected by drug and alcohol problems and their families.
Background and approach
He also helps people who are dealing with grief, relationship strain, low self-esteem and big life changes. His way of working draws on humanistic, person-centred ideas. That means sessions focus on the person's goals and pace, with the counsellor offering active listening and thoughtful questions.
He uses Motivational Interviewing techniques when people are ready to consider change and need help finding their own reasons to move forward. In sessions Nathan aims to be warm and straightforward. He helps people talk through stuck patterns such as avoidance, control issues, or repeated relationship problems.
He also supports those coping with panic attacks, social anxiety or feelings of emptiness. People who choose Nathan can expect a steady, non-judgemental approach and help turning small steps into lasting shifts.

How Nathan works online
He also draws on Motivational Interviewing, a collaborative way of talking that helps people clarify their reasons for change. This is useful for issues like substance use or behaviour someone wants to shift but feels unsure about.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process includes checking in about what is working and adjusting the focus as needed.
For practicalities, please confirm current session options before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy week or less tiring than travel, and some prefer shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations when that suits them better. Registered or accredited professionals can help adapt exercises and pacing to make online work feel useful and manageable.
