Nadezda Georgiou, BACP, NCPS

Nadezda Georgiou is a counsellor who aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and grief. She speaks plainly and invites straightforward conversation so people can begin to feel steadier. Her approach treats the person as the expert in their own life and focuses on small, practical steps that make a difference.

She draws on a range of psychological approaches to suit each person. Sessions often look at patterns in relationships and how earlier experiences shape current choices. Nadezda pays attention to both present difficulties and past influences to help people make sense of repeating struggles.

Nadezda holds a BA (Hons) in Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies and an accredited diploma in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. She is listed with BACP and NCPS and has eight years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom.

In therapy she aims to guide rather than direct. Conversations include noticing unhelpful habits, reflecting on personal values, and trying practical experiments between sessions. The tone is collaborative and grounded, with an emphasis on what people can try right away.

People contact her for help with issues such as chronic illness and pain, caregiving stress, attachment and abandonment concerns, communication and commitment difficulties, and navigating life changes like separation or ageing. She also supports those dealing with cancer, bereavement, family of origin issues and feelings of emptiness.

How her approaches translate to online work

Nadezda commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, name their values and try small experiments that align with what matters. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at repeating patterns in relationships and helps people understand how early bonds affect current behaviour.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative, and decisions can change as the work progresses.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example allowing a shorter check-in during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. It can also help when low-energy days make leaving home difficult, or when someone wants to meet without being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt practical exercises and relationship-focused exploration to the online setting so people can continue therapy alongside everyday commitments.
