About Nadir
Nadir Mothojakan helps people facing loss, stressful life changes and difficult relationships. He writes simply and listens with warmth and respect. He aims to help clients feel heard and begin to regain a sense of control over day-to-day life.
He has 33 years of experience working with issues such as grief, bereavement and adjustment after abandonment, divorce or job loss. He also supports those coping with long-term health conditions and the stress of unemployment or a toxic workplace.
How Nadir works
He pays attention to how problems that began in childhood can continue to cause pain in adulthood. Nadir focuses on practical steps to make life more manageable. He helps people set and communicate boundaries, says that validating difficult experiences is important, and encourages active expression of feelings that may have been bottled up.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual’s needs. His way of working is rooted in listening without judgement and helping clients clarify goals. He prioritises autonomy and works with clients to choose the most useful strategies for their situation.
That might mean focusing on day-to-day coping, reviewing patterns from early relationships, or planning next steps in work or family life. He also offers support for anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction concerns. Online sessions are available to make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
If someone wants to explore a particular problem or set a goal, Nadir provides a steady presence and practical direction.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and when life changes make decisions feel hard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and teaching practical ways to change them, often helpful for anxiety, depression and stress.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then agree on a plan together. That plan can mix elements from different approaches to suit the person and the issue they want to address.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging works for people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, caregiving or mobility limits while still working on meaningful change with a registered or accredited professional.
