Nanda Odedra, NCPS

Nanda Odedra is a counsellor with four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood and supports those recovering from trauma and abuse. Nanda also helps people build self-esteem and confidence and offers guidance around parenting, family concerns and major life changes.

Her approach starts by treating each person as the expert in their own story. She listens for practical strengths and small steps that can make life feel more manageable. Conversations aim to be straightforward and grounded, with a focus on what can change day to day.

Nanda pays attention to how relationship issues such as infidelity or jealousy affect everyday life and decision making. She also brings awareness to multicultural concerns and how cultural background shapes coping and wellbeing.

People can expect calm, clear conversations and a steady focus on realistic goals. Nanda emphasises encouragement and collaboration while people work through difficult moments. She helps clients find ways to feel more confident, cope with mood shifts such as bipolar symptoms, and navigate transitions.

Sessions are practical and paced to each person’s needs. Nanda supports people as they take steps towards a more satisfying and balanced life. The aim is to leave each session with something useful to try before the next meeting.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Nanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and coping. One common approach helps people build awareness of thoughts and behaviours, then practises new ways of responding to stress and low mood; this is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Another approach centres on processing traumatic experiences safely and at a pace people can manage, aiming to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals, current struggles and preferences and then suggest which techniques to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as you progress so the plan fits your needs.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different lives. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing contact and flexible check-ins between sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel while still focusing on meaningful change.
