Nadia Mackenzie, BACP, NCPS

Nadia Mackenzie offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or life changes. She welcomes conversations about self-esteem, relationship troubles, parenting pressures, career uncertainty and challenges linked to ADHD. Nadia writes plainly and works at a steady pace so people can feel heard and understood from the first sessions.

Nadia is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and is registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. She has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and draws on several well-known therapy approaches to shape her work. Nadia adapts her style to the person in front of her rather than using a single fixed method.

In sessions she uses client-centred techniques to help people talk through feelings and make sense of difficult experiences. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used when practical strategies or changes to thinking patterns could help reduce anxiety or low mood. Attachment-informed thinking helps where past relationships or patterns affect current connections and reactions.

Nadia focuses on building trust and working collaboratively. She helps people spot unhelpful patterns, experiment with new ways of coping, and find choices that fit their life. Her manner is warm, non-judgemental and steady, aiming to make it easier to share difficult thoughts and feelings.

People who want clear, everyday language and a relational approach often find her helpful. Nadia supports exploration of difficult feelings and practical steps for moving forward, with attention to what matters most to each person.

How Nadia's approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect current reactions and connections; it helps when past hurts repeat in present relationships. Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions, offering open listening and support so people can find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical changes in thinking or behaviour to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Nadia sees finding the right approach as a shared task. She will talk with each person about what they want to achieve and suggest methods to try, then adjust the plan as the work progresses. This collaborative way means the approach can change with the person's needs and goals.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes therapy more flexible. Video calls let people keep a face-to-face feel, phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat are useful for quick check-ins or when writing is easier. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and daily life while still getting steady, structured support from a registered or accredited professional.
