FAQs About Holistic Counselling with Nathan Gurry
1. How is Holistic Counselling different from traditional therapy?
Holistic Counselling is different from traditional therapy because it focuses on the whole person – including emotional wellbeing, nervous system health, and self-understanding – rather than clinical diagnoses or symptom management. Nathan offers presence-based support that is relational, integrative, and grounded in personal experience.
2. Can Holistic Counselling support anxiety and emotional overwhelm?
Holistic Counselling can support anxiety and emotional overwhelm by helping patients reduce nervous system stress, unwind protective patterns, and reconnect with calm awareness. Nathan provides a steady, non-judgmental space to process emotions without pressure to ‘fix’ or perform.
3. Is this approach suitable for neurodivergent adults?
This approach is especially suitable for neurodivergent adults, including those who identify as autistic, ADHD, gifted, or highly sensitive. Nathan works with patients who may have felt misunderstood in conventional therapeutic settings, offering tailored support that respects their lived experience.
4. What if I feel lost or unsure about what I need?
If you feel lost or unsure about what you need, Holistic Counselling can support you in clarifying your inner experience without requiring you to have the answers. Nathan’s presence-based sessions help patients reconnect with their own insight and direction over time.
5. Does Nathan work with spiritual or existential concerns?
