About Nadezda

Nadezda Georgiou is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS in the United Kingdom, with eight years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and depression, and focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and family of origin problems. Nadezda writes and talks plainly about patterns that repeat in relationships and feelings that linger from the past.

In sessions she treats the client as the expert in their own story. She uses conversations to help people notice what keeps them stuck and to find ways to respond differently. Expect direct discussion of present problems alongside links to earlier experiences that still affect current behaviour.

Her approach draws on therapies that look at thoughts, values and attachment. That can include cognitive behavioural work to challenge unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas about values and action, and attachment-based listening to relationship patterns. These methods are used to address anxiety, shame, grief and difficulties in close relationships.

She also uses psychodynamic ideas to bring unconscious patterns into awareness. This often means naming repeating dynamics and exploring how past relationships shape reactions now. The work can involve looking at commitment and control issues, codependency, and how family history plays out in adult relationships.

Nadezda holds a BA (Hons) in Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies and an accredited diploma in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. She frames therapy as collaborative and practical, helping people try different strategies and notice what feels most useful.

How her approaches translate to online work

Nadezda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters and take small actions that align with those values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stuckness and feelings like guilt by shifting focus toward meaningful steps rather than just fighting thoughts.

She also draws on attachment-based work, which looks at repeating patterns in relationships and how early connections shape current reactions. This approach helps when relationship anxieties, fear of abandonment or codependency are part of the problem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss different methods and decide together which fits the person's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative selection can change over time as priorities shift.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work days, quieter when they can arrange a short break, or simpler when they prefer not to travel. Discussing practical arrangements at the start helps make sessions workable around daily life.
