About Nadir

Nadir Mothojakan is a counsellor with more than three decades of practice in the United Kingdom. He works with people who are facing grief, loss and major life changes such as abandonment, divorce, job loss or serious illness. He speaks calmly and listens openly so clients can talk about painful experiences and feel heard.

Nadir often helps people untangle difficult relationship patterns from childhood and adulthood. He supports conversations about work stress, unemployment and toxic workplaces so clients can name what has been happening to them. The aim is to help people express feelings they have kept inside and to take steps toward feeling more in control.

Early work focuses on practical steps such as setting boundaries, learning how to say no and recognising legitimate sources of stress. Nadir also helps people validate painful experiences and practise honest expression in a safe setting. He encourages clients to keep their own goals and choices at the centre of the work.

Clinically he draws on approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centred methods, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. These are used flexibly to match what each person needs rather than as fixed rules.

Nadir holds BACP registration and has long experience supporting people with anxiety, depression, trauma and the effects of long-term health conditions. He offers online sessions and will discuss which approach fits a person's situation before planning next steps.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It focuses on values and small steps that move someone toward a life they care about, which can help with grief and anxiety. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; this can help with low mood, anxiety and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The counsellor will discuss the different methods and work with each person to choose what fits their goals and preferences. That collaborative process is part of early sessions and may change as needs evolve.

The biography notes that online sessions are offered, so confirm the exact session options before booking. Many people find online work makes it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, for example by saving travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. Online sessions can also make it easier to continue therapy while managing health issues or caregiving responsibilities. Registered or accredited professionals can explain the practical arrangements and help plan sessions that suit everyday life.
