About Nathan

Nathan Connor is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and life changes. He also supports people dealing with caregiver strain, guilt and shame, isolation and questions about life purpose.

Nathan uses a person-centred approach and keeps sessions focused on what a client brings. He listens for the practical effects of feelings such as guilt and shame, and helps people talk through how those feelings show up day to day. Sessions are conversational and aimed at helping people make sense of difficult emotions.

He has experience supporting carers and people affected by cancer, including those impacted indirectly. That background means he is familiar with the pressures that come from caring roles and long-term illness. He pays attention to how grief and loss can combine with anxiety and depression.

Nathan trained to postgraduate level with an MSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He draws on evidence-based techniques while keeping the conversation grounded and straightforward.

People who come for help with guilt and shame can expect practical discussion about everyday choices and relationships. Nathan aims to help clients notice patterns and try small changes that suit their life. If you are looking to work through persistent self-blame or difficult memories, he offers a steady, conversational way to do that.

How therapeutic approaches are used online

Person-centred therapy focuses on open conversation and active listening. Online sessions following this approach involve the therapist reflecting what is said, helping clients notice feelings such as guilt or shame, and considering small, practical changes that fit daily life.

Evidence-based techniques can also be used alongside person-centred work to target specific problems. For example, behavioural techniques help with anxiety by testing out gradual changes in everyday routines. Grief-focused approaches help people organise memories and manage the practical tasks that follow loss.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they will try methods that match the client’s needs and adjust them as they learn what is most useful.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as they are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. They also let people choose a setting where they can concentrate without lengthy travel.
