About Nadia
Nadia Mackenzie is a BACP and NCPS registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and life transitions. Nadia also supports people dealing with relationship difficulties, grief, parenting and career pressures, and those managing ADHD-related challenges.
She uses a relational, client-centred way of working. Sessions focus on talking through feelings, spotting patterns, and developing practical coping strategies. Nadia aims to help people identify what is holding them back and consider different ways of responding to difficult situations.
Nadia draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns that affect present life. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help with unhelpful thoughts and practical problem solving. Mindfulness practices and attachment-based thinking are woven in to help with emotional regulation and relationships.
In a typical session Nadia works at the client’s pace, collaborating on what to focus on and which steps to try next. She pays attention to relationships and how early experiences may influence current reactions. Work can include short-term coping tools and deeper exploration over time.
People often come for support with loss, communication problems, codependency, body image, chronic illness or caregiver stress. Nadia describes therapy as a place to make sense of painful feelings, test new ways of thinking and try different behaviours that fit the life someone wants to lead.
How Nadia uses different approaches in online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape patterns in adult life. It helps when relationship worries, abandonment fears or trust issues keep repeating. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the client. It supports people who need space to make sense of feelings and to decide their next steps. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with practical exercises and small experiments to try between sessions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Nadia will discuss your aims and preferences and choose methods together. This collaborative planning helps decide whether more reflective work, practical CBT techniques, or attachment-focused discussion will fit best.
Confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins between commitments. Some formats may be better for quieter conversations or for clients who prefer not to use video, so discussing practical arrangements early helps make sessions manageable alongside work, family and other responsibilities.
