Dean Gaylard
Calm, supportive counselling with practical tools
About Dean
Dean Gaylard offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people feeling low in self-esteem, anxious, or depressed. He aims to help clients feel safe and supported so they can begin to talk about what is happening and find ways forward. Sessions focus on uncovering the roots of difficulties and building practical ways to cope day to day.
Dean gives time to listen and reflect, and he gently suggests techniques that clients can try between meetings.
Background and approach
The main aim is to help people notice small changes that add up over time. His style is compassionate and intuitive, drawing on hypnotherapy alongside a client-centred way of working. Dean often uses guided imagery, breath work and simple meditative practices to help people manage stress and regulate their nervous systems.
These tools are offered when they fit the client’s needs and preferences. Dean brings seven years of professional experience and holds NCPS, which is listed among his credentials. He works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction, as well as issues around self-worth, intimacy and life transitions.
People who value a respectful, collaborative approach may find his way of working helpful. He encourages questions before starting and welcomes messages from anyone who wants to test whether the sessions might suit them.

How client-centred therapy and hypnotherapy work online
Client-Centred Therapy is about listening and responding to the person in front of the therapist. It focuses on what matters to the client, helping them find their own solutions and gain confidence in making changes. This approach suits issues like low self-esteem, anxiety and life transitions.Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help people access calmer states and work on patterns such as stress, insomnia or unhelpful habits. It can be blended with talking therapy to support changes in behaviour and self-perception.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dean will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods to the client’s goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change over time as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility in how people connect. Video is useful for fuller interaction and visual cues, phone calls need less bandwidth, and messaging can suit shorter check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping continuity of care.
