Nadir Mothojakan offers calm, practical help for people facing big life changes. He meets individuals who are grieving, stressed, anxious, or struggling with work and relationship problems. Nadir writes in a warm, respectful way and focuses on helping people feel more in control of day-to-day life.
Nadir is a BACP counsellor with 33 years of experience in the United Kingdom. He listens for patterns that began in childhood and that still cause trouble now.
Background and approach
He helps people name feelings that have been pushed down and learn small steps to set healthier boundaries at home and at work. When someone is coping with loss, illness, job change or a toxic workplace, Nadir offers steady, non-judgemental support. He encourages active expression of feelings so people can reclaim confidence and move toward practical solutions.
Sessions aim to make emotions easier to manage, not to rush or fix them. Nadir draws on several approaches to match what a person needs in the moment. He uses clear techniques to address anxiety, depression, trauma, eating and sleeping problems, and addiction concerns.
He also supports people dealing with parenting stress, compassion fatigue and identity questions related to LGBT matters. Clients can work with him online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. He helps people set goals, decide the best steps, and work at a pace that suits them.
If someone wants to start exploring a particular issue, Nadir will listen and plan a path forward together.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that reflect personal values; it is often useful for grief, life change and anxiety. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical behavioural changes to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people develop healthier ways of relating and setting boundaries.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan so it fits the person rather than forcing a single model.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different needs. Video is good for a fuller conversation, phone works where bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health demands while keeping the focus on practical progress.
