About Nadir

Nadir Mothojakan works with people facing grief, life changes and difficult relationships. He offers calm, respectful listening and helps clients find practical steps to regain a sense of control. Many people come to him for support with anxiety, depression, trauma and the impact of long-term health conditions.

He has 33 years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. Nadir draws on simple, down-to-earth methods in sessions so people can speak openly about loss, abandonment, job loss, illness or strained relationships. His tone is warm and non-judgemental and he encourages clients to set their own goals.

In therapy he focuses on clear steps you can take. This can include setting boundaries, putting words to feelings that have been suppressed, and validating the stress caused by unemployment or a toxic workplace. He works to make the therapy space one where change feels possible and manageable.

Nadir uses a range of approaches to match what each person needs, including cognitive and acceptance-based methods. He aims to keep sessions practical and collaborative, helping people gain clarity and build skills they can use outside the room.

People seeking help with family concerns, ageing and geriatric issues, addiction, ADHD or relationship difficulties will find relevant experience in his practice. If you want to focus on a specific goal or challenge, he offers listening and guidance to support that work.

How his approaches shape online therapy

Nadir uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions that align with those values. ACT can be useful for grief, anxiety and life transitions because it focuses on living a meaningful life despite difficult thoughts or feelings.

He also draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which means sessions centre on the person’s own perspective. The counsellor aims to listen without judgement, reflect what is said and support the client in finding their own solutions. This approach suits people who need space to make sense of their experience at their own pace.

Choosing the right method is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt the approach over time. Clients are invited to try different strategies and give feedback so the work stays practical and relevant.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as current options are not detailed here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also help people engage from a quieter setting and choose whether to use video or audio depending on comfort and bandwidth.
