Nanda Odedra, NCPS

Nanda Odedra is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, motivation concerns and the challenges that come with life changes.

Nanda believes each person knows their story best and brings strengths into the room. Her role is to support and empower clients as they work towards change. She describes the first steps as brave and sees the therapeutic relationship as a place to build confidence and resilience.

In sessions she listens for practical ways to reduce day to day distress. She helps people identify patterns that get in the way and experiment with different ways of coping. Conversations are grounded in real problems and simple steps that can be tried between meetings.

She also works with issues related to family and parenting, and pays attention to cultural and multicultural concerns. Topics such as infidelity and jealousy are part of her focus when they are affecting a person's wellbeing.

Nanda welcomes clients who want a straightforward, supportive approach. She aims to make therapy feel manageable and relevant to a person's life. If someone prefers to start, they are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapist's schedule.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling

Many of the techniques Nanda uses are evidence based and focus on practical change. One common approach helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try alternative thoughts and behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach focuses on stabilising and coping after traumatic experiences, by teaching grounding and emotion regulation skills that make day to day life more manageable.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to understand their goals and preferences, then suggest methods that fit those needs. Over a few sessions they review what helps and adjust the approach as work progresses.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins between in-person appointments. It also permits people to work with registered or accredited professionals who are not local, which can broaden choices when looking for the right therapeutic match.
