About Dean
Dean Gaylard is a counsellor who helps people feeling low in self-esteem, anxious, or depressed. He aims to make sessions calm and non-judgemental so people can speak freely and begin to notice their own strengths. Dean wants clients to feel safe and supported while they start to understand what has been causing their difficulties.
He draws from client-centred ideas and hypnotherapy to shape sessions in a gentle way. Dean often uses guided imagery, breath work and simple meditative exercises to help people manage stress and regulate their nervous system. These approaches are offered alongside open conversation about thoughts and feelings.
Dean has seven years of experience and holds NCPS. He has worked with people on concerns such as anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, grief, trauma, addictions and relationship struggles. He also supports issues like caregiver stress, codependency, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness.
In practice he focuses on listening and responding to what each person needs. He respects the experience clients bring and shares observations only when they are helpful. If someone prefers, he can suggest short exercises between sessions to build awareness and coping skills.
Many people find it hard to make the first contact, so Dean welcomes questions before booking. International clients may be supported; anyone interested is encouraged to confirm session options and scheduling details before starting.
How these approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and responding to what a person needs. Online sessions using this approach keep the conversation grounded in the client’s experience and prioritise the relationship as the main route to change. It can help with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and life changes.Hypnotherapy uses guided imagery and focused attention to help people access relaxed states and explore thoughts or memories differently. Online hypnotherapy-style work can include coached relaxation, breath work and imagery exercises to support sleep, stress reduction and managing intrusive thoughts.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and work together to decide what methods feel most useful. This collaborative planning means techniques can be adjusted over time if something does not fit.
Session formats are not detailed in the original profile, so please confirm which options are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to access a therapist from different places. It can also allow shorter check-ins or guided relaxation practices that slot into a lunch break or quiet moment, helping therapeutic work fit into everyday life.
