About Ian
Ian Deslow offers straightforward, non-judgemental counselling for people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self-esteem or depression. He introduces a calm space where clients can speak openly and work toward practical goals. Ian presents himself plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.
Ian uses person-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural techniques. That means sessions centre on the client's concerns while also looking at thoughts and behaviours that get in the way.
Background and approach
He helps people identify small changes that can reduce anxiety, lift mood, or ease relationship strain. With four years of professional experience Ian has worked in a range of team settings across different organisations. His background includes helping people with trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, career challenges, and ADHD.
He also focuses on attachment issues, body image, control problems, guilt and shame, and men’s issues. Sessions can address obsessive and compulsive difficulties, panic and phobias, personality-related concerns, prejudice and discrimination, social anxiety and workplace stress. Ian also offers support for young adult issues, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue.
He uses a mix of solution-focused steps and mindfulness tools to suit the person’s needs. Ian holds NCPS as a credential and practises from the United Kingdom. He works with people in English and accepts international clients.
Appointments are offered at various times to fit busy lives.

Online support
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ian will discuss options with each person and adapt methods to fit their goals and preferences. Together they agree small, realistic steps and check progress as therapy continues.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls work well for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone sessions suit those who need lower bandwidth or a quicker check-in, and live chat or text messaging allow shorter, regular contact between appointments. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caring duties and busy schedules while keeping the focus on the goals set in sessions.
