About Nadir

Nadir Mothojakan is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 33 years of experience. He works with people facing grief, loss and major life changes such as abandonment, divorce, job loss and serious illness. He also supports those managing anxiety, stress, depression and the effects of long-term health conditions.

Nadir listens for the practical patterns that make life harder. He helps clients name difficult feelings and set clearer personal boundaries. Sessions focus on small, achievable steps to regain a sense of control after disruption.

He draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioural work and acceptance and commitment methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of responding. Attachment-based thinking is used to look at how past and present relationships affect current reactions. Dialectical behaviour strategies are also available to build emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills.

Nadir aims for direct, straightforward collaboration. He encourages active expression so feelings that have been avoided can be spoken about and understood. Practical coping strategies and clearer communication habits are common outcomes of his work.

Sessions are intended to help people clarify goals, try new behaviours and reflect on what changes feel sustainable. People who want help with career disruption, parenting strain, addictions, relationship difficulties or identity concerns such as LGBT matters will find these topics within his practice.

He offers online sessions and advises people to check the current session options before booking. To begin, clients follow a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment through the site.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then commit to actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain problems and testing simple changes to reduce distress and improve functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape responses to stress and loss and can help with relationship difficulties and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then agree on methods together. Sessions are collaborative and adapt as needs change during therapy.

The biography states that online sessions are offered, but does not list specific formats here, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, cut travel time and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person session is hard to arrange. Telephone sessions can use less bandwidth, and video can support face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Registered or accredited professionals can guide you on which option will suit your situation.
