About Dean
Dean Gaylard offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people feeling anxious, low in self-esteem, or overwhelmed by life changes. He aims to make clients feel safe and supported so they can talk about what matters to them without pressure. Sessions focus on understanding where problems began and finding small, practical steps forward.
He uses a client-centred approach, which means sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and pace. He also integrates hypnotherapy techniques and gentle practices such as guided imagery, breath work and meditative exercises when these suit the client. These methods are offered as options to help with relaxation, emotional regulation and changing unhelpful patterns.
Dean brings seven years of professional experience and holds the NCPS credential. He has worked with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, addiction, grief and a wide range of other issues, including ADHD and bipolar symptoms. He emphasises respect for each person’s own knowledge about their life and invites collaboration rather than direction.
Many sessions include practical strategies that can be practised between meetings, such as grounding techniques and brief meditations. He welcomes questions before starting therapy and encourages a first contact to see if the fit feels right.
Dean is based in the United Kingdom and offers work in English. International clients are accepted, and session scheduling is arranged according to availability.
How Dean’s approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the client’s lead, helping them feel understood and more able to talk about difficult feelings. It can help with anxiety, low self-worth and coping with life transitions.Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and imagery to support changes in thinking and behaviour. It is offered as a complementary option when people want help with relaxation, sleep, confidence or breaking unhelpful habits.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Dean will discuss options and try them collaboratively, adjusting methods to match each person’s goals and preferences rather than imposing a fixed plan.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cutting travel time and allowing conversations from different locations. Some people prefer audio or shorter check-ins when they have limited time or lower bandwidth, while others like visual contact for guided exercises and breath work. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online meetings can still include practical tools to practise between sessions, such as grounding exercises, guided imagery and short meditations to support everyday coping.
