About Dean
Dean Gaylard is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, anger and life changes. He also supports people facing issues such as grief, trauma, addictions and relationship strains.
Dean uses straightforward conversation to help people make sense of what is happening for them. He listens without judgement and aims to help clients recognise patterns that keep causing distress. Sessions can include guided imagery, breathing work and meditative practice when these feel useful.
He draws on client-centred principles, putting the person’s experience at the centre of the work. Hypnotherapy is also part of his approach and may be used to access deeper states of focused attention for change or stress reduction. Dean may offer practical steps alongside reflective conversation.
People often come to him hoping to manage bursts of anger, to reduce simmering resentment, or to cope with someone else’s anger in their life. He encourages clients to name what they want to change and to try small, manageable practices between sessions. Progress is discussed in plain terms so goals stay realistic.

How his approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflection. The therapist follows what the client brings and helps them notice patterns and choices. This approach works for problems like anger, low self-esteem and relationship tensions because it prioritises the client’s own experience.Hypnotherapy involves guided attention and imagery. It can help with stress, anxiety, sleep problems and habits linked to anger by supporting calm states and rehearsing different responses. Sessions may include relaxed breathing and visualisation exercises led by the counsellor.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The counsellor and client review what feels most helpful and adapt methods according to goals and preferences. That collaborative decision is revisited as progress is made.
The practical value of online sessions is fitting therapy into everyday life. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel time and join from a place with quieter surroundings. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can use online meetings to combine conversational work with guided imagery and breath exercises that fit a client’s routine.
