Nadezda Georgiou , BACP, NCPS

Nadezda Georgiou offers practical, empathetic counselling for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief or depression. She writes plainly and listens carefully, helping people name what is happening and find small, doable steps forward.

Nadezda draws on eight years of experience in the UK mental health field. She holds a BA (Hons) in Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies and credentials with BACP and NCPS. Her background includes a diploma in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, which informs her work with trauma and abuse.

In sessions she focuses on the present while also tracing links to earlier experiences. That can help people see repeating patterns in relationships and understand how past events shape current feelings and choices. She aims to make those links tangible and useful rather than overwhelming.

Nadezda uses a mix of short-term and depth-focused methods. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to work on practical coping strategies. She also uses attachment-based and existential approaches to look at meaning, connection and long-standing patterns.

Her additional interests include abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and loneliness after loss. People with concerns about cancer, ageing, codependency, communication or separation often seek similar kinds of support.

Sessions are conducted in English and offered online through video, phone, live chat or text messaging. The first step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions that fit around daily life.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Nadezda commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them and choosing actions that match personal values; it can help with anxiety, stress and persistent worry. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand connection and trust issues in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nadezda will work collaboratively to test methods and adjust the focus as needs and goals become clearer. She aims to balance short-term coping techniques with deeper reflection so sessions feel relevant and manageable.

Online work is offered by video call, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls let you meet face to face when that helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when you need a quick check-in. Chat and messaging support shorter or more flexible contact between longer conversations, making it easier to keep therapy going alongside work, caregiving or treatment commitments.
