Nathan Staniford , BACP

Nathan Staniford brings ten years of counselling experience to his practice. He has worked across four NHS Foundation Trusts and within a university setting, and he has maintained a private practice since 2018. Over the course of his career he has supported people dealing with identity questions, anxiety, family conflict, relationship difficulties, and grief and loss.

Nathan focuses on creating an open, non-judgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored and expressed. He values collaboration with clients and helps them articulate what they want to change while respecting their pace and perspective. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life often requires courage, and Nathan aims to offer steady, compassionate support throughout that process.

He holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which denotes professional training and adherence to recognised standards in counselling practice. Nathan combines practical experience from public and university services with ongoing private work to support people navigating life transitions and emotional challenges.

Client-Centered and Solution-Focused Support Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping the client lead the conversation; it is useful for people who want a supportive space to explore identity, relationships, and personal values. Mindfulness Therapy teaches practical ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations with calm attention, which can help with anxiety, stress, and coping during difficult life changes. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on setting clear goals and identifying small, achievable steps forward, making it helpful for clients seeking concrete change or relief from specific problems.

Nathan Staniford draws on these approaches to tailor sessions to each person's needs. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process - he works collaboratively with clients to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they want to address. This partnership helps shape a plan that feels practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect with licensed professionals and therapists. Clients can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit their schedule and comfort level. These options make it easier to access ongoing support from home or while travelling, and they allow sessions to be scheduled around work, family, and other commitments.
