About Dean
Dean Gaylard is a counsellor who offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people feeling low, anxious, or unsure of their self-worth. He aims to make sessions feel safe and straightforward so clients can speak openly and begin to make small, practical changes. People looking for steady support with depression can find a gentle, person-focused approach here.
Dean listens with curiosity and warmth. He draws on client-centred ideas to prioritise each person's experience and perspective.
Background and approach
He also brings hypnotherapy into sessions when it may help clients access calmer states and practical coping strategies. In sessions Dean often uses simple breathing and guided imagery to help regulate stress. He may suggest short meditative practices to try between meetings and offers practical ways to manage difficult feelings.
The focus is on small steps that fit into everyday life. He has seven years of professional experience and holds NCPS as a credential. He works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and bipolar challenges among others.
Sessions are available in English and he accepts international clients. Dean encourages anyone who feels nervous about starting to send a message first to ask questions and get a sense of how he works before booking.

Approaches Dean lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The counsellor will talk through your needs, preferences and goals and suggest which methods might help most. Work is collaborative so adjustments can be made over time if something doesn’t feel helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video lets you see facial cues and use guided visualisations. Phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into short breaks. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, travel or caring responsibilities.
