About Nathan
Nathan Holmes is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing depression, anxiety and stress. He also supports those dealing with low self-esteem, relationship strain and grief. Nathan draws on seven years of practice and a people-focused approach to keep sessions straightforward and practical.
He often works with people affected by drug and alcohol problems and has experience offering support to their families. Nathan uses a humanistic, person-centred way of working that puts the client’s priorities first.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be warm and down-to-earth, with the client guiding the pace and topics. Nathan blends client-centred listening with motivational interviewing techniques to help people explore what matters to them and find reasons to change. He listens for strengths and moments of readiness, then helps turn those into small practical steps.
Conversations focus on realistic goals and manageable actions rather than jargon. In sessions he pays attention to patterns like attachment worries, feelings of emptiness, control issues and social anxiety. He also helps people cope with life changes, parenting stresses, and problems with communication or forgiveness.
Work may include talking through past hurts, practising clearer ways to ask for what you need, or planning next steps for recovery from addiction. Nathan is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging in English.

Online support
Motivational Interviewing looks for moments when someone feels ready to change and builds on those reasons. It uses gentle questions and practical planning to turn intention into action, which can help with addictions, lifestyle changes and getting past avoidance.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nathan will talk with each person about their needs, goals and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to focus on reflecting and exploring, on building motivation, or a mix of both as sessions progress.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions use less data and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, short reflections or times when writing feels clearer than speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family or travel commitments.
