Nadia Mackenzie , BACP, NCPS

Nadia Mackenzie is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. She works with those facing relationship and family difficulties, parenting strain, career changes, grief and challenges linked to ADHD. Nadia uses a calm, person-focused style so people can feel listened to and begin to make small, practical changes.

Nadia adapts her approach to each person rather than using the same plan for everyone. She draws on client-centred ways of working to help people find their own solutions. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of coping.

Her training includes psychodynamic and humanistic theories alongside CBT, and she brings five years of professional experience to her practice. Nadia is a member of the BACP and holds NCPS accreditation, which are the credentials listed for her practice in the UK.

In sessions she focuses on building a trusting relationship and working at the client’s pace. Conversations often move between looking at past patterns and practising practical strategies for managing current stresses and emotions.

People who meet her can expect straightforward discussions about what is causing distress and clear options for change. The aim is to increase emotional awareness, reduce stuck patterns and support more confident choices in daily life.

How Nadia brings therapeutic approaches online

Nadia uses client-centred work to create a space where people feel heard and their goals guide the sessions. This approach focuses on empathy and respect, helping people to recognise their own strengths and decide on next steps.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT offers clear, practical techniques for managing anxiety, depression and stress and for building new ways of coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nadia will discuss options with each person and tailor the mix of approaches to their needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and she supports clients in choosing what to try and when to change direction.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel and allow different ways to engage depending on what feels most helpful.
