About Nathan
Nathan Staniford is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 10 years' experience. He supports people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, addictions, LGBT issues, and related struggles. Sessions focus on practical conversation and mutual planning rather than clinical jargon.
He has worked within four NHS Foundation Trusts, at a university, and in private practice since 2018. That background gives him experience with a wide range of everyday problems, from career strain to parenting pressures. He uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on the person in front of him, Mindfulness Therapy to develop present-moment awareness, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set achievable steps forward.
In sessions he encourages straightforward talking about thoughts and feelings. He helps people break problems into manageable parts and try small changes between meetings. He pays attention to how family patterns or past losses affect current stress and relationships.
Practical issues such as sleeping, eating, coping with chronic illness, and work-related compassion fatigue are treated alongside emotional concerns like guilt, shame, low self-esteem and isolation. He also offers support around intimacy, commitment worries, jealousy and infidelity.
People who prefer a conversational, goal-oriented approach may find his style useful. International clients can be supported in English. To begin, follow the site process to match and book an initial session.

How his approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening to the person's experience and responding to what they bring. In an online setting this looks like conversational sessions that follow the client's concerns and priorities, useful for discussing relationship or family matters.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and manage anxiety. Online sessions can guide brief mindfulness practices and discuss how to use them for sleep, eating or stress management.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on specific goals and small steps. In remote meetings this becomes short-term planning, reviewing what worked between sessions, and adjusting next steps to fit daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels practical, and then try methods that suit the person's needs. That decision is collaborative and can change as work progresses.
The biography does not list session formats explicitly, so confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Registered and accredited professionals often use remote meetings to keep continuity when life circumstances make in-person meetings harder.
