About Nadezda

Nadezda Georgiou is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She also offers support around abandonment, attachment issues and family of origin concerns.

Nadezda uses a mix of practical conversation and reflective work. She listens to what matters to the client and helps them notice recurring patterns in relationships. Sessions look at how past experiences influence present behaviour, while also focusing on what can be done now to manage difficult feelings.

Her background includes a BA (Hons) in Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies and an accredited diploma in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. That training informs how she links past experiences with current reactions without assuming one single cause for a problem.

Clients can expect a counsellor-led, client-centred style that draws on cognitive tools and acceptance-based ideas. That means working on thoughts and behaviours where useful, and on values and acceptance where that fits better. Conversations are practical and aimed at clearer patterns and steps forward.

She pays attention to attachment and how early relationships shape expectations and responses today. This can help when someone feels stuck in repeating relationship cycles, struggles with closeness, or has long-standing trust or abandonment worries.

For people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, or bereavement, she combines present-focused coping strategies with reflective exploration. The aim is clearer thinking about choices and stronger ways to manage ongoing pressures.

How therapeutic approaches are used online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and align actions with what matters to them. It is often used for anxiety, stress and low mood by teaching simple skills to move toward valued activities despite difficult feelings.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape expectations and behaviour. It is useful when someone keeps repeating patterns in friendships or partnerships, or when trust and closeness feel difficult.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted as the client learns which ones help.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, since no specific formats are listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into study, work or busy schedules. They can allow shorter check-ins, save travel time and make it simpler to arrange appointments around shifts or class timetables. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical session lengths and tools during the first meeting so sessions suit everyday life.
