About Nadir
Nadir Mothojakan is a counsellor with 33 years of professional experience. He offers calm, respectful listening for people facing anxiety, grief, major life changes and ongoing stress. He focuses on helping individuals name what they are feeling and take small steps forward.
He works with people who have lost jobs, gone through separation, faced serious illness or struggled with difficult workplace situations. He also supports those coping with trauma, long-term health conditions, depression and addiction.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to help clients express feelings and regain a sense of control. Nadir draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based work and client-centred practice to build a collaborative space. He prioritises the client’s autonomy and looks for ways to make therapy practical and relevant to everyday life.
Therapy includes boundary-setting, validating experiences and encouraging active expression. Practical steps are central to his way of working. Together with the client he identifies small, manageable goals.
He uses conversation and reflective exercises to help people notice patterns and try different responses in daily life. He offers online sessions from the United Kingdom and works in English. If someone wants to focus on a particular issue - a relationship strain, parenting pressures, career change or persistent worry - he listens first and helps plan the next steps.
How therapeutic approaches adapt to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to identify values that guide small actions. This can help with anxiety, grief and life transitions by turning attention toward meaningful steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and feeling. It can help people who struggle with trust, abandonment or repeating difficult relationship patterns by focusing on understanding and practising different ways of connecting.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The counsellor works together with each person to decide which methods feel most useful. That might mean starting with simple, client-centred listening and then trying ACT or attachment-focused exercises as needed. The plan is adjusted to fit the person’s goals and preferences over time.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let the counsellor and client work face to face when bandwidth and environment allow. Phone sessions can be a quieter option or useful when video is not possible. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or people who prefer writing. These formats make therapy easier to fit around work, caring duties and travel.
