Nadezda Georgiou, BACP, NCPS

Nadezda Georgiou is a UK-registered therapist with eight years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She draws on formal training including a BA (Hons) in Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies and an accredited diploma in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and she holds professional registrations listed as BACP and NCPS - registrations that reflect adherence to recognised standards for counselling and psychotherapy practice in the UK.

She works from the view that each person is the expert of their own story and brings strengths that can be mobilised to face difficult moments. Her role is to guide rather than instruct, offering space to explore ways of managing and coping while supporting clients to focus on the present and to notice links with the past. Therapy with Nadezda involves examining repeating patterns in relationships and making sense of how earlier experiences can appear in current life. She also attends to less conscious processes that influence behaviour, helping bring hidden struggles into awareness so they can be addressed intentionally.

Nadezda aims to create a collaborative therapeutic relationship in which interventions are tailored to the individual, with attention to both immediate coping and longer-term understanding. Her practice emphasises empathy, reflection, and respectful curiosity to help clients navigate change and build more satisfying ways of living.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Nadezda integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy into her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and focuses on identifying values and actions that lead to a more meaningful life - it is often used for anxiety, stress, and persistent emotional patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current ways of relating; it supports understanding and changing repeating patterns in relationships and is useful for concerns about connection, abandonment, and intimacy.

Nadezda approaches the choice of methods collaboratively - she will work with each person to identify which approach or combination of approaches fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Finding the right therapeutic style is part of the work together, and adjustments can be made as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Nadezda is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for scheduling and lets people access support from home or elsewhere. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, or health commitments while still engaging in meaningful, evidence-informed therapeutic work with a registered professional.
