About Nadia
Nadia Mackenzie is a BACP and NCPS registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, low self-esteem, life changes, family and parenting concerns, career pressures, depression and ADHD. Nadia also focuses on blended family issues and related difficulties such as attachment concerns and communication problems.
She uses a relational, person-centred way of working. Sessions are conversational and aim to help people make sense of difficult feelings. Practical coping strategies and clearer ways of thinking are offered alongside space to reflect on how past experiences affect current relationships.
Nadia draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change them. Mindfulness practices are introduced to manage stress and grounding when anxiety feels high.
Sessions are collaborative. Nadia listens to what matters most and then suggests steps to try. She pays attention to relationship patterns that influence parenting, stepfamily dynamics and communication with ex-partners.
Her approach suits people who want straightforward, practical conversations about family blending, coping and decision-making. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session to discuss goals and next steps.
Approaches used in online sessions
Nadia commonly combines attachment-based ideas with client-centred and cognitive behavioural techniques to address relationship and emotional difficulties. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape expectations and reactions, which can help with stepfamily tensions and trust issues. Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can find their own solutions and make clearer decisions about parenting and relationships.Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small changes in behaviour. These techniques suit people who want practical steps to reduce anxiety or improve communication in blended households. Nadia often introduces simple mindfulness exercises to manage stress and return attention to the present when emotions escalate.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. They will check in regularly and adapt the plan as things change.
