About Nadir

Nadir Mothojakan is a counsellor with more than 33 years of experience who helps people facing loss, difficult relationships and major life changes. He speaks in a calm, respectful way and focuses on helping people express feelings they have kept inside. He supports clients who are coping with grief, job loss, illness, or stressful events and helps them find practical steps forward.

He listens for patterns that started in childhood and that still cause trouble now. Together with clients he works on setting boundaries, naming feelings and taking small actions to regain a sense of control. Sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward so people can use what they learn in daily life.

His areas of focus include anxiety, depression, trauma, long-term health conditions and codependency among many other concerns. He also helps with stress, addictions, relationship and parenting difficulties, and emotional effects of chronic illness.

Nadir draws on a mix of approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, Client-Centred listening, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. He emphasises empathy, non-judgemental listening and helping people clarify their goals.

He offers online sessions and aims to match the method to each person’s needs. If someone has a specific area to explore or a goal to work toward, he encourages them to start with a short assessment and plan next steps together.

How online therapy and approaches can help

Nadir uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas alongside client-centred listening and practical CBT techniques. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate choices, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with loss. Attachment-Based approaches focus on how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and help people understand and change those patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative planning makes it easier to test what helps and adjust the plan over time.

The biography notes that online sessions are offered, so check the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time and use shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to meet from different locations when international arrangements are relevant. The emphasis is on practical access and matching methods to life circumstances rather than promising a specific format.
