About Nadezda

Nadezda Georgiou is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She aims to guide clients rather than direct them, and to help them notice patterns that affect everyday life.

Her background includes a BA (Hons) in Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies and an accredited diploma in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. She uses those studies to look at how past experiences shape current reactions and relationships. Sessions focus on making links between earlier events and present behaviour so unhelpful patterns become clearer.

Nadezda blends practical approaches with reflective work. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address current thinking and behaviour, and Attachment-Based methods to look at relationship patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas also appear, helping people notice values and take manageable steps toward them.

Her style is client-centred, which means conversations start from the person’s experience and priorities. That approach supports focused goals, including handling avoidance, communication problems, codependency and commitment concerns. She also works with issues related to chronic illness, caregiver stress and ageing.

Sessions include attention to emotional responses that can be outside awareness. This can involve gently exploring unconscious patterns and how they show up in relationships. The work aims to give practical ways to manage symptoms while making sense of the personal story behind them.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take small steps that align with their values. It can be useful for anxiety and for situations where avoidance has become a pattern.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. That approach is helpful for stress, anxiety and for changing day-to-day habits that keep problems going.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current interactions and emotional responses. It can be useful when longstanding relationship issues, codependency or commitment fears are present.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and adjust methods according to the person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that blends reflective exploration with hands-on strategies.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. They can also help when a quieter setting is needed or when someone prefers not to use video, depending on the formats offered.
