About Nathan
Nathan Holmes works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction or major life changes. He helps those struggling with low self-esteem, depression, grief and relationship or family concerns. Nathan presents as warm and approachable, and aims to make talking about hard things feel straightforward and manageable.
Nathan is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He has seven years of practice supporting people through drug and alcohol problems and the effects those difficulties have on family life.
Background and approach
He has experience helping people in active addiction as well as relatives coping with the impact. His style is rooted in humanistic, person-centred ideas. That means sessions focus on the person and on what they want to change.
Nathan uses Motivational Interviewing to help when people feel stuck or unsure about making different choices. In a session he listens without judgement and helps clients clarify their goals. Conversations are practical and paced to each person, with space to talk through feelings and consider next steps.
Nathan aims to help people notice what matters to them and build small, realistic changes. People usually work with Nathan by using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. This variety makes it easier to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments.

Online support
Motivational Interviewing is a short-term style that helps people clarify their reasons for change and resolve mixed feelings. It is useful for addictions, behaviour change and situations where someone feels unsure about next steps. The technique uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation from the client’s own values.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided collaboratively. Nathan will work with the client to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as needed based on what works best for the individual.
Online sessions can be delivered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and non-verbal cues, phone calls suit shorter check-ins or times with less bandwidth, and messaging works well for brief updates or flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and day-to-day life.
