Nathan Deery Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist LondonNathan Deery:

Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist (BABCP)

Hello, my name is Nathan and I am a cognitive behavioural psychotherapist accredited with the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP).

I began my career as a mental health nurse in 2008 and later trained in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), working as a psychotherapist since 2013. After fourteen years within NHS mental health services, I established my private practice, Greater Sense Psychological Therapies, in 2022.

I now see clients online and in person at HQ Therapy Rooms in Haggerston (E8) and Highbury Fields (N5).

Alongside CBT, I have completed further training and supervised clinical practice in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), metacognitive therapy (MCT), and cognitive behavioural couples therapy (CBCT), and offer both individual and couples therapy.

 

Approach:
My work is grounded in the principles of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and related approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and metacognitive therapy (MCT). These approaches recognise that emotional difficulties are often shaped by how we relate to our thoughts, feelings and experiences, as well as by the wider context in which they occur.

Many of the people I work with find themselves caught in patterns of intrusive thoughts, rumination or persistent questioning that can make it difficult to move forward. These patterns often become attached to important areas of personal meaning, including questions about identity, morality, purpose, relationships or past experiences. Therapy focuses on helping you recognise these patterns and develop new ways of responding to them.

I have experience working with a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety disorders (particularly OCD, panic and health anxiety), low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and the effects of stressful or difficult life experiences. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, and in therapy we work together to understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck and explore possibilities for change that feel meaningful and realistic for you.

 

Fees

  • Individual therapy sessions last 60 minutes and are charged at £100 for in-person and £90 for online sessions.
  • Couples therapy sessions are £120 per 60 minute session.

 

Getting started:
I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation for new clients so we can briefly discuss what has been going on for you and whether the way that I work feels like a good fit. If you decide to go ahead, we can arrange your first appointment during this call.

I offer online therapy on Tuesdays and in-person sessions on Wednesday afternoons and evenings at HQ Therapy Rooms in Highbury Fields (N5), as well as on Thursdays and Fridays during the day at HQ Therapy Rooms in Haggerston (E8).

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Should I Seek Therapy?

Many people, new to this type of help, believe that they need to be suffering from “mental illness” or serious “psychological problems”, or be in crisis in order for therapy and counselling to be appropriate for them. This is a common misconception; anyone can benefit from therapy when it comes to helping you deal with your personal feelings and problems, make positive changes in your life, and understand yourself better.

So what is therapy and counselling? If you’re new to this world then the first steps can sometimes be the most difficult. Therapy can be a very effective treatment for a whole range of personal problems covering areas from physical and emotional problems, different types of behavioural disorders, through to human sexuality issues and a host of wellbeing and complementary therapy techniques.

Any problem you have that is causing you concern, anxiety or distress is a valid and appropriate reason to reach out and find a therapist and talk to them about it. Far from something to be ashamed of, acknowledging your vulnerability and asking for help is a sign of maturity and strength.

If you feel that you have a desire and are committed to making changes in your life in order to overcome your current problems and achieve more long-term satisfaction, psychological wellbeing and personal fulfilment, then you are ready to seek therapy. We are here to help you work through a wide range of therapy issues that might be troubling you.

Will Information About Me Be Safe & Secure?

It is quite normal to be hesitant when it comes to sharing private and intimate information about yourself with a stranger. You may fear that you will receive judgment from your therapist, or that your therapist will share your details with others.

HQ Therapy Rooms takes your privacy and confidentiality very seriously. Our therapists are required to keep everything said in therapy sessions between you, just like your doctor is required to keep your records private.

For therapy to be effective, there must be unconditional trust built between you and your therapist, and this relies on a shared understanding of confidentiality. It applies to the outside world as well: it is standard practice for therapists not to acknowledge their clients if they run into them outside of the therapy rooms in order to help protect their client’s confidentiality. Read our full privacy policy for more information.

Can I Contact You For Advice About Getting Therapy?

Talking about your thoughts and feelings with a supportive therapist can often make you feel better and help you face your problems. It feels good to be listened to and to know that someone cares about you and wants to help. It is important that you find a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and can build a trusting relationship to help you make positive changes in your life.
