Nadia Mackenzie, BACP, NCPS

Nadia Mackenzie is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship worries or low self-esteem. She also supports those coping with grief, life changes, career strain and ADHD-related difficulties. Nadia aims to make the first step easier by offering a warm and compassionate space to talk through what’s troubling you.

Nadia uses a blend of approaches to match individual needs. She works in a relational way, listening first and letting each person’s concerns guide the session. Practical coping strategies and clearer ways of thinking are offered alongside exploration of past patterns that still affect daily life.

Her background includes five years of professional experience and training across psychodynamic and person-centred traditions, plus cognitive behavioural techniques. Nadia is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and holds NCPS credentials. She draws on these influences to help people better understand how past relationships influence current feelings and choices.

Sessions focus on identifying the issues that get in the way and developing step-by-step ways to move forward. Nadia encourages clients to notice small changes and to build personal resources at a manageable pace. She aims to help people find clearer direction and more positive connections with themselves and others.

People come to her with a wide range of concerns including communication difficulties, commitment worries, parenting strain, chronic health challenges, bereavement and body image distress. Nadia offers collaborative, person-centred counselling that balances practical tools with deeper reflection.

How Nadia’s approaches translate to online counselling

Nadia often draws on client-centred and cognitive behavioural ideas in her work. A client-centred approach means the therapist listens closely, reflects back what is said and helps people find their own answers. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at thinking patterns and practical steps to change unhelpful habits, which can help with anxiety, low mood and problem-solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Nadia will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. That partnership helps decide whether to focus more on exploring relationship patterns or on learning coping strategies and small experiments to try between sessions.

If you are considering online counselling, please confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find remote work makes fitting therapy into a busy life easier, because it can reduce travel time and allow sessions around work or family commitments. Online sessions can also make it simpler to try brief check-ins or homework discussions that support steady progress without needing extra travel.
