About Nathan
Nathan Holmes is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience. He mainly works with stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem and depression. Nathan also supports people facing relationship or family strain, grief, parenting challenges and major life changes.
He uses a humanistic integrative approach that emphasises Person Centred ideas, described in his own words as putting the client in control of where they want to go. That means sessions focus on the person's priorities and pace rather than a fixed treatment script. He has spent recent years working with a drug and alcohol service and with people affected by substance use.
Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-focused when needed. Nathan draws on Client-Centred Therapy to follow what matters most to the person in front of him. He also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people consider change when they feel stuck or ambivalent.
People come to him with practical problems such as panic attacks, social anxiety, communication difficulties and feelings of emptiness or guilt. He also supports those working through attachment and abandonment issues, control problems, and recovery from addiction. The work aims to clarify what someone wants and to take small steps towards that.
If a reader is thinking about starting, the usual next step is to complete the short matching questionnaire and book a first session. The therapist asks people to choose their session using the platform's booking flow so they can confirm the options that suit their situation before scheduling.

How his approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. Online sessions can use that same conversational stance to help someone set priorities and decide where to focus. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to work through mixed feelings about change, useful for problems like substance use, avoidance or making life adjustments.Finding the right method is part of the work. He will help the client and counsellor agree which approach or mix of approaches fits the client’s goals and comfort. The aim is to match practical steps to what the person wants, not to force a single technique.
The practical benefits of online sessions depend on the session formats offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals on the platform use these formats to help people keep therapy consistent alongside everyday life.
