About me
Perhaps you have reached a point where what you have been carrying has begun to feel too much, or where the ways you have managed until now no longer feel enough. Difficult feelings can become more pressing during periods of change or uncertainty, such as navigating relationships, parenting and family life, leaving university, changing jobs, or moving between places and cultures. At other times, it may be difficult to identify a clear reason for how you are feeling.
Hi, my name is Nadia. I am an integrative psychotherapist and counsellor working online with adults, and a registered member of the BACP. I offer a calm, compassionate and confidential space where you can pause, untangle what is happening and explore what you need, without judgement. I work relationally, listening carefully and offering thoughtful, gently challenging reflection as we explore your experiences, relationships and the patterns you may be noticing in your life.
Practice description
I work online, which offers flexibility around your schedule and location. Sessions are £70 for 50 minutes and are available in English or French. To keep counselling as accessible as possible, I also offer a small number of reduced-fee sessions on a sliding scale.
My approach
I work integratively, drawing from different therapeutic approaches depending on your needs, including person-centred, psychodynamic and CBT-informed ways of working.
My work is rooted in empathy, collaboration and reflection. We can explore patterns, emotions and experiences more deeply, working towards greater clarity and self-understanding - creating space to quiet the noise and support meaningful growth and change.
Getting in touch
I offer a free 20-minute phone or Zoom consultation before booking a first session. This is a chance for you to tell me a little about what has brought you to counselling, ask any questions and find out more about how I work. It also gives us a chance to talk and see whether you feel comfortable with me and whether my way of working feels right for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
My background
Alongside my private practice, I work with clients at Mind and Headstrong Counselling. I have supported people exploring health anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, boundaries, ADHD, identity and their sense of self.
I have a particular interest in cross-cultural experiences and life transitions. Moving between countries or cultures, especially while growing up, can shape your sense of home, belonging and identity. You may recognise this if you grew up across cultures, sometimes described as being a Third Culture Kid, or if changes in where you live have left you wondering where you fit.
Before training as a therapist, I worked in health-related fields. My Master’s degree in International Health Policy and that professional experience continue to inform my awareness of the social and cultural circumstances that shape people’s lives.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information
First session
Our first session is an opportunity for me to understand more about you, what has brought you to counselling and what you are hoping to gain from therapy. As part of this, I will carry out an initial assessment, asking about your current circumstances, relevant background and any difficulties you may be experiencing.
We will take this at a pace that feels comfortable for you. There will also be time for you to ask questions, and there is no expectation to share anything before you feel ready.
