About Nathan
Nathan Staniford is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with ten years of counselling experience. He works with adults who want to manage anger, stress, anxiety, relationship strain and grief. Nathan helps people who are trying to cope with life changes, addiction issues, or problems with sleep and eating.
He aims to make sessions direct and practical. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what the person wants to change. Nathan listens for patterns that feed frustration and helps people name triggers and responses.
His background includes roles at four NHS Foundation Trusts and work for a university. He has also run a private practice since 2018. Those settings gave him experience with identity issues, family conflicts and relationship problems.
In sessions he uses client-centred approaches to keep the conversation focused on the person's priorities. He draws on mindfulness tools to reduce reactivity and build attention. Solution-focused ideas are used to set small, achievable steps between meetings.
People contact Nathan when anger shows up as bursts of temper, simmering resentment, or difficulty tolerating stress at work or home. He offers straightforward conversation, practical exercises and short-term goal planning to help people try different ways of responding.
Approaches used online and how they help
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's concerns and priorities, giving space to talk through situations that cause anger or frustration. It helps people feel heard and decide what matters most to change.Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of bodily signals. This can be useful for temper that flares quickly or resentment that builds over time.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and short-term goals. It helps people test new responses between sessions and notice what works in day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and choose methods together based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and may mix elements from these approaches to match what is helpful.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and caring duties, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use mindfulness exercises in the moment and practise new responses between meetings.
