Dylan Burns

Overview

Dylan Burns is an experienced psychotherapeutic counsellor based in Lewes and Brighton, United Kingdom, who works with adults online and in person. His practice blends integrative transpersonal counselling with somatic therapy, focusing on change that is felt not just as insight but as shifts in behaviour and self‑care. He offers a therapeutic space to explore anxiety, stress, depression, bereavement, loss, phobias, eating disorders, addiction, abuse, identity issues, trauma and self‑harm. Sessions are 50 minutes long and take place weekly, allowing clients to notice changes in relationships, work, mood and overall well‑being.

Burns sees counselling as a deeply relational experience that supports clients to explore issues in ways that might not be possible with friends or self‑reflection. He emphasises that therapy should be an experience rather than a chat and invites clients to assess its effectiveness through both the session itself and changes they observe in daily life. His approach acknowledges the importance of addressing the autonomic nervous system, integrating body‑based methods with psychological exploration to facilitate meaningful transformation.

Dylan’s services are suited to adults seeking support for anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, phobias or eating disorders, and individuals dealing with bereavement, trauma, abuse or relationship difficulties. The practice is also appropriate for clients interested in personal growth, spirituality, self‑esteem and identity issues, or those wanting to address self‑harm and other destructive patterns. Dylan works with people over the age of 18 and does not provide couples therapy.

Approach

Dylan draws on integrative, relational, transpersonal and somatic approaches to tailor therapy to each client. He may explore developmental history to address past trauma, focus on present‑moment experiences and relational dynamics, or use Somatic Experiencing techniques to work with the autonomic nervous system. His transpersonal orientation considers clients’ experiences beyond the personal ego, including aspects such as meaning, soul, ecology and spirituality.

Sessions emphasise relational counselling, where the therapeutic relationship itself becomes a key vehicle for healing. Dylan avoids giving advice or relying on textbook methods; instead, he meets clients authentically, allowing the therapeutic process to unfold based on their unique needs. Somatic Experiencing is used within the context of the therapeutic relationship, recognising that many issues are relational in nature. He believes counselling must always be relational to be effective and includes elements of meaning, calling and the more‑than‑human where appropriate.
