Nadia Mackenzie

Nadia Mackenzie is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has five years' experience and works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, self-esteem issues, ADHD and life changes including career questions and parenting concerns.

Nadia uses a relational style in sessions, letting the client’s needs guide the work. She often draws on person-centred practice to help people name difficult feelings and start finding practical ways to cope. Conversations focus on what is happening now, how it affects day-to-day life, and small steps that can ease pressure.

She also integrates psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns from the past that may still influence choices today. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when clients want concrete tools for managing worry, low mood or unhelpful thoughts. Mindfulness ideas are offered as short exercises to reduce stress and improve focus.

Nadia aims to work at a pace that feels manageable, helping people explore options without rushing decisions. She supports people in thinking through relationship and family difficulties, career crossroads, loss, and moments when a sense of purpose feels unclear. Practical coping strategies and clearer thinking about next steps are common outcomes of her sessions.

Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and sessions are run in English. Before booking, the reader should confirm the current session arrangements and formats available.

How her approaches translate to online work

Nadia commonly draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred practice. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape present reactions and can help when patterns keep repeating in relationships. Client-centred work focuses on listening and helping the client make sense of feelings so they can try different ways of handling situations.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy to teach practical skills for managing worry and low mood, such as testing unhelpful thoughts and developing coping routines. CBT tasks can be practised between sessions and reviewed together, which many people find useful when making changes to daily habits.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through the options with the client, consider current goals and preferences, and agree a way of working that feels workable. That choice can be reviewed as therapy proceeds so it adjusts to changing needs.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available online arrangements before booking. Online sessions can help fit counselling into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a break, not needing travel time, or choosing an option that avoids video when that suits better. Registered or accredited professionals can use these approaches effectively in remote sessions, and practical planning will focus on what fits the client’s routine.
