About Dean
Dean Gaylard offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, low self-esteem or depression. He aims to create a warm atmosphere where clients can speak honestly without pressure. Sessions focus on helping people feel seen and understood as a first step toward change.
He uses a gentle, client-centred way of working that places the person’s experience at the heart of each session. That means listening first, reflecting back what is said, and helping clients notice patterns that get in the way of feeling better.
Background and approach
Hypnotherapy and guided imagery are offered when they suit the client’s goals, often alongside breath work or simple meditation practices. Dean describes his style as sensitive and compassionate. He draws on experience with Reiki and hypnotherapy to support self-acceptance and to encourage calmer nervous system responses.
Practical techniques aim to build small, manageable steps toward greater confidence and coping skills. He has seven years of professional experience and holds the NCPS credential. His background includes helping people with stress, anxiety, motivation, self-esteem, depression and life changes, among other concerns.
He values the therapeutic relationship as an important part of recovery and treats each person as the expert on their own life. People who contact him can expect straightforward language and down-to-earth tools. He welcomes questions beforehand so someone can test whether the approach feels right before booking a session.

Online support
How hypnotherapy and client-centred work translate online
Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help people notice and change unhelpful habits or beliefs. Online sessions can use spoken imagery and breathing exercises that support anxiety, sleep problems and low self-esteem. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and reflecting back what matters to the person. This approach helps people feel understood and to clarify goals during a conversation over video or phone.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose techniques that match their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean trying brief hypnotherapy exercises in one session and exploring deeper client-centred conversation in the next, then adjusting as progress and comfort levels become clearer.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for guided imagery and breath work. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflection between sessions or people who prefer writing. Together these options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel commitments while keeping the focus on steady, collaborative progress.
