About Dean
BACP. 4 years' professional experience. Dean Audsley works with people on stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. He also supports those coping with life changes, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, career concerns, ADHD and mood instability.
Dean uses a straightforward, person-focused way of counselling. He describes the client as the expert on their own story and builds on existing strengths. Sessions aim to talk through what is happening now, identify practical steps and try small changes that can make daily life easier.
His background includes four years of work in the United Kingdom with a range of presenting problems. He draws on Client-Centred Therapy to listen without judgement, and on Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and track progress.
Dean also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people manage anxiety and panic, and elements of Existential Therapy to look at life purpose and meaning when people feel stuck. These methods are used in simple, practical ways rather than as abstract theory.
People who contact him typically discuss clear problems such as panic attacks, social anxiety, isolation, control issues, guilt and shame, or struggles with motivation and forgiveness. Sessions are intended to be collaborative, with the counsellor and client deciding together what to try next.
Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. Details about session arrangements and fees vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients follow the online matching and booking steps.
How his approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says, helping people feel understood and able to clarify their own priorities. This approach suits people who want a supportive, non-directive style to talk through feelings such as grief, low self-esteem or isolation.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on setting small, achievable goals and noticing progress. It is practical and action-oriented, useful for managing stress, panic, motivation and life-change decisions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce anxiety and help with sleep and panic symptoms.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options with the client, try methods in early sessions and adapt them based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits the client. Registered or accredited professionals generally use online work to help people maintain consistent appointments and apply skills between sessions.
