Nadia Mackenzie, BACP, NCPS

Nadia Mackenzie offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or life changes. She introduces a steady, listening presence and helps people work out manageable steps forward. Nadia aims to make starting therapy feel less daunting and to create a space where clients can speak honestly and be heard.

She uses a mix of approaches that suit each person. Nadia draws on client-centred ways of working to follow the client’s pace and priorities. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to help people understand patterns from their past, and cognitive behavioural techniques to try out new coping strategies.

Nadia has five years of professional experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She trained in a range of humanistic and psychodynamic theories alongside CBT methods. This background informs a flexible, relational style rather than a single fixed method.

In sessions she focuses on building trust and exploring feelings, while also helping people plan practical steps. That might mean trying short experiments between meetings, practising mindfulness exercises, or talking through relationship and family challenges.

People come to Nadia for a wide range of difficulties, including low self-esteem, depression, parenting strain, workplace stress, ADHD concerns and bereavement. She aims to help clients find clearer options and a greater sense of direction as they work towards change.

How Nadia's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape present feelings and reactions. Online sessions can help name those patterns, improve emotional understanding and support changes in close relationships.

Client-centred therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of each session. The therapist listens closely, follows the person’s pace and encourages their own insights and decisions, which can be useful when adjusting to life stresses or exploring self-esteem issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Nadia will discuss goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that suit the person. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs shift.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work, family and everyday life so meetings are easier to attend. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or non-video options when attention or bandwidth is limited. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking to be sure they meet your needs.
