About Dean
Dean Gaylard, NCPS, is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and parenting pressures. He also helps people dealing with grief, trauma, addictions and relationship and family concerns.
Dean uses a straightforward, person-centred approach. He focuses on listening and reflecting back what clients bring. Sessions aim to identify where difficulties began and what keeps them going now, so practical steps can be tried between meetings.
Hypnotherapy is one of the methods Dean offers alongside client-centred work. He sometimes uses guided imagery, breath work and meditative practices to help people manage strong feelings and calm the nervous system. These techniques are presented as options and adapted to what each person prefers.
People contact Dean when life changes feel overwhelming, when they struggle with motivation, or when patterns of guilt, shame or codependency are causing strain. He also supports those coping with caregiver stress, panic attacks, bipolar and ADHD related concerns as listed in his profile.
To get started clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Dean accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. He uses an adjustable subscription model for fees that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Dean draws on client-centred therapy and hypnotherapy in online work. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, reflecting and helping clients make their own sense of problems; it can help with anxiety, low self-worth and life changes. Hypnotherapy involves guided imagery and relaxation techniques to support emotional regulation and can be useful for stress, panic symptoms and some habit changes.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Dean will discuss what feels right, try different techniques and adjust based on how the client responds. The aim is to match methods to the person’s needs, goals and preferences rather than to insist on a single method.
The profile does not list which session formats are used, so please confirm options before booking. Many people find online sessions fit into busy days more easily, allow a quieter check-in during work breaks, or remove travel time. Therapists including registered or accredited professionals can also offer shorter follow-ups or guided exercises that slot into everyday life. These practical benefits make it easier to keep momentum between sessions and to apply new skills in real situations.
