About Nadir
Nadir Mothojakan is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 33 years of professional experience. He works with adults facing family and parenting stresses, grief, career shifts, anxiety, depression and the long-term effects of illness. He also supports people dealing with trauma, addictions, anger and issues around attachment and relationships.
He listens to experiences from childhood and adulthood, including workplace problems and unemployment. Sessions focus on helping people name their feelings and take practical steps to regain some control. Nadir emphasises clear boundaries, valid acknowledgement of stressful life events, and the chance to express feelings that may have been held back.
His approach draws on practical therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside attachment-informed and client-centred methods. He adapts what he uses to suit each person while keeping the work straightforward and goal-focused. Sessions aim to help with coping strategies, mood regulation, and clearer decision-making around relationships and parenting pressures.
Nadir also works with issues connected to adoption and foster care, abandonment, ageing, chronic illness and other complex challenges. He accepts international clients and offers online sessions; people should confirm current session options before booking. He uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time.
To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment. That initial step helps identify priorities and whether the match feels right before further sessions are arranged.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values. It can help with depression, anxiety and life transitions by focusing on what matters rather than getting stuck on feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful habits. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to patterns formed in close relationships and helps people understand how those patterns affect current family and parenting interactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their situation, goals and preferences, and agree on methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made if something does not feel useful.
The biography confirms Nadir offers online sessions, but does not list exact formats here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people join from different locations when international work is required. Registered or accredited professionals aim to match methods and scheduling to everyday routines so therapy can be practical and usable.
