About Nadir

Nadir Mothojakan is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has 33 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He helps people who are coping with grief, loss and major life changes, and supports those dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and anger. He also works with career concerns, relationship difficulties and the effects of long-term health conditions.

Nadir listens for how past experiences shape present reactions. He pays attention to difficult relationships from childhood and adulthood, and to pressures at work or from unemployment. His way of working puts emphasis on expressing feelings and on practical steps that build a greater sense of control.

He often starts by helping clients identify and communicate personal boundaries. He encourages people to name and validate stresses such as a toxic workplace or the strain of caring for someone with chronic illness. Speaking about painful experiences is treated as a practical act that can change how someone copes day to day.

Nadir uses methods from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based work. He focuses on collaboration and clear goals rather than jargon. Sessions aim to clarify what matters to the client and to develop doable strategies for change.

For people managing anger, he looks at triggers, patterns and practical skills to respond differently. He also supports those affected by addictions, ADHD, eating or sleeping problems, and a wide range of other concerns. To begin, clients are asked to complete a brief questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-led steps even when difficult feelings are present. It suits issues like anger, grief and life transitions where focusing on values can guide practical choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and teaches straightforward skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for stress, anxiety, depression and anger management. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships affect current reactions and helps people recognise and change long-standing interaction patterns that feed anger or anxiety.

Nadir treats finding the right approach as a shared task. He discusses methods with each client and tailors sessions to the person's goals and preferences. That way the work stays practical and relevant rather than theoretical.

The biography states he offers online sessions. Please confirm the exact session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. For many people that flexibility helps maintain continuity and practise new strategies between meetings.
