Nicholas Mistiades Dunn is a counsellor with 25 years of professional practice. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. He also supports those coping with grief and loss and people exploring issues connected to identity, including LGBT concerns.
Nicholas aims to make sessions feel calm and straightforward. He works to build an open space where feelings and thoughts can be shared without fear of being judged.
Background and approach
He describes starting therapy as a courageous step and offers steady support through that first move. Across his career he has worked in counselling, supervision and training roles. That range means he brings practical experience of how people cope with life changes, addictions, trauma and intimacy problems.
He also draws on experience with issues such as parenting, career pressure, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related concerns. His practice includes work on more specific topics too, like abandonment, adoption and foster care, chronic illness and body image. He also helps people address communication and control problems and the fallout from natural or human-caused disasters.
Nicholas uses straightforward methods that focus on what a person needs now. People who meet him can expect a practical, calm approach. He helps clients set clear goals and works alongside them to meet those aims.
If you are thinking about starting therapy, he asks clients to begin by using the platform's matching process to arrange a first appointment.

How evidence-based techniques are used online
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical changes and clearer thinking. For example, approaches that help people identify unhelpful thinking teach simple steps to notice and change patterns. These methods are often useful for anxiety, stress and mood concerns.Another common approach works on building skills for managing relationships and communication. It helps people practise new ways of speaking and responding, which can ease conflict and support intimacy. These techniques suit people working through relationship or communication problems as well as caregiving or workplace stresses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online therapy include being able to fit sessions around work and family life and reducing travel time. It can make it easier to check in more often or to have shorter, focused meetings when needed.
