Nathan Deery Psychotherapist London E8Nathan Deery:

Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist (BABCP)

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

I completed my training and started working as a mental health nurse in 2008, and began my training in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) in 2010, before working full-time as a psychotherapist in 2013.

I left the NHS after 14 years in 2022 to start up my own private practice, Greater Sense Psychological Therapies, and now see clients both online and in person at HQ Therapy Rooms in Haggerston, London E8 4DE.

In addition to CBT, I have also completed training and undertaken supervised clinical practice in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and metacognitive therapy (MCT).

I successfully completed a PG Cert. in cognitive behavioural couples therapy (CBCT), and will be offering couples therapy alongside individual therapy in the coming months.

 

Approach:
I offer individual therapy which draws on some of the key ideas and principles of CBT and other related therapeutic approaches, such as ACT and MCT.

 This includes the idea that emotional and mental health difficulties are often caused and kept going by the way that we relate to – i.e. think about and behave towards our own personal experiences, whilst also taking into account the context in which these occur.

My clinical experience includes the treatment of a wide range of difficulties, such as anxiety disorders e.g. generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, health-related anxiety, phobias, social anxiety disorder – also depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, anger and stress.

I am especially interested in working with trauma, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and working with people who have become stuck or feel unable to move on from aversive life experiences.

I take the approach that however you have been feeling, there are likely to be very good reasons for the ways that you have been trying to cope with things until now, and I will work collaboratively with you to identify a direction in therapy that feels meaningful to you.

I believe that a flexible, compassionate approach to your experiences, with the aim of increasing your awareness and acknowledging the actual choices that you have available to you, will always give you the best opportunity of making the changes that you are hoping to make in therapy.

 

Fees
Individual therapy sessions are 60 minutes as standard and are charged at £90 per session.
90-minute sessions may sometimes be necessary and are charged at £135 per session.

 

Getting started:

I offer a free, 15 minute telephone consultation to new clients, in order to answer any questions that you may have and to help us both decide whether the approach that I take will be right for you.

If you decide that you would like to go ahead with booking an appointment, I can arrange this for you during this call.

I currently offer therapy online on Tuesdays and also have a limited number of in-person therapy appointments on Thursdays and Friday mornings at HQ Therapy Rooms in Haggerston.

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.
