Nadia Mackenzie, BACP, NCPS

Nadia Mackenzie is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure of their next step. She works with common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and life changes. Nadia aims to create a warm and compassionate space where clients can be heard and start to make small, practical changes.

Nadia holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has five years of professional experience in counselling. Her background includes psychodynamic, person-centred (also known as client-centred) and cognitive behavioural approaches, which she draws on to suit each person’s needs. She describes therapy as a collaborative process in which the client’s goals steer the work.

In sessions she focuses on helping people understand what is keeping them stuck and building coping strategies. That can mean talking through feelings, spotting patterns in relationships, or trying practical tools to manage anxiety and low mood. Nadia offers a steady, relational style that emphasises listening and working at the client’s pace.

People bring a wide range of issues to her, including relationship difficulties, parenting and family tensions, career questions, grief, ageing concerns, and the emotional effects of illness or caregiving. She also supports clients who want personal development and a clearer sense of purpose during life transitions.

Her way of working blends listening and practical steps. Together with each person Nadia identifies unhelpful patterns and builds strategies to move forward. The emphasis is on small changes that fit into everyday life and help clients regain a clearer sense of direction.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Nadia draws on client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches that adapt well to online work. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people to find their own solutions; it suits those who want a supportive space to consider choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and uses simple exercises and coping tools to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Nadia will work with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful based on their goals and preferences. That may mean starting with listening and exploration, then adding practical CBT techniques as needed.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, such as arranging sessions that suit work breaks or caregiving schedules. It can also let people use shorter check-ins or telephone calls when video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find online sessions help maintain continuity of care during life changes, while allowing practical ways to practise new skills between meetings.
