About Nathan

Nathan Staniford has built a decade of counselling experience, offering steady support to people facing identity concerns, anxiety, family conflict, relationship challenges and grief. Over the past ten years he has worked across four NHS Foundation Trusts and within a university setting, and he has maintained a private practice since 2018. His clinical background is complemented by a BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which denotes membership of a professional counselling body in the United Kingdom.

Nathan adopts a calm, nonjudgmental stance that encourages clients to explore difficult feelings and life changes at their own pace. He aims to create an open space where thoughts can be voiced and understood, helping people take that often difficult first step toward a more fulfilling life. His experience spans a wide range of concerns including identity, anxiety, family relationships and loss, and he works with clients from the UK and internationally using formats that suit each person’s needs. Nathan provides practical, compassionate collaboration focused on understanding the person behind the problem and finding manageable ways forward.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating empathetic, nonjudgmental space where the person’s own perspective and values guide the work - this approach helps with relationship concerns, identity issues and self-esteem. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress, making it useful for anxiety, coping with change and grief. Solution-Focused Therapy is brief and goal-oriented, helping clients identify practical steps and small changes to address concerns like coping, addiction-related goals, or relationship problems.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Nathan will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best for their needs, goals and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend elements from different approaches, and Nathan adapts his style to match what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy makes it easier to access care from home or elsewhere, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These formats provide flexibility for scheduling, allow continuity of support across locations and can help clients engage in therapy in ways that suit their daily life.
