About Nadezda

Nadezda Georgiou offers caring, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and loss. She helps clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward. Nadezda approaches conversations with respect for each person’s story and their own strengths. She aims to guide people toward clearer choices and easier day-to-day coping.

With eight years of experience, Nadezda uses a mix of approaches to suit where someone is at. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and still take meaningful action. She works with attachment ideas to look at repeating patterns in relationships and how the past shows up now. She also uses client-centred and cognitive behavioural methods to focus on the present and practical steps that make a difference.

Her background includes a BA (Hons) in Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies and an accredited diploma in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. She is registered with BACP and NCPS, and practises in the United Kingdom.

In sessions she encourages people to speak as they feel able and to try out small changes between meetings. Conversations may examine past patterns and link them to current behaviour. The emphasis is on collaboration rather than instruction.

Nadezda supports people working through a broad range of concerns beyond core issues such as abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, commitment or communication problems. She can also help with grief, depression and the emotional impact of illness or ageing.

How her approaches translate to online work

Nadezda commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas in her practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and supports taking small steps towards what matters. Attachment-Based work looks at recurring relationship patterns and how early experiences influence current connections, which can be useful when relationship issues are causing distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. That means therapy can be adjusted over time so sessions focus on practical tools, exploring past patterns, or both, depending on what the client needs.

If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic. It also means people can try different ways of working and then decide which style and pace suit them best.
