Dean Gaylard, NCPS

Dean Gaylard offers a compassionate, nonjudgmental space for people who feel stuck with low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, or difficulty recognising their own worth. He creates an atmosphere of warmth and acceptance so clients can explore their experiences at a comfortable pace and begin to trace the roots of persistent patterns. Dean’s practice emphasises safety, validation, and practical steps toward greater self-understanding and resilience.

Drawing on a sensitive, intuitive style, he combines elements of hypnotherapy and Reiki with client-centered principles to support clients in building self-acceptance. He may introduce meditative and mindfulness practices when appropriate and often uses guided imagery and breath work to help people regulate their nervous systems and manage distressing symptoms. These approaches are offered alongside collaborative conversation and practical strategies tailored to each person’s needs.

Reaching out for support can feel daunting, and Dean recognises the courage it takes to begin. He welcomes questions from prospective clients and invites people to message in advance to see if his way of working feels like a good fit. Dean is licensed in the United Kingdom and holds the NCPS credential (a professional credential), and he has seven years of professional experience helping people with stress, anxiety, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, depression, and coping with life changes among other concerns.

He values the therapeutic relationship as a core part of the healing process, and he works to ensure clients feel seen, respected, and understood. While clients bring the expertise of their own lived experience, Dean offers perspectives and tools when they are welcomed, aiming to support each person toward greater agency, compassion for themselves, and meaningful change.
