Nadir Mothojakan

With a calm disposition, and respect for  individual differences, I work  with adults from diverse  backgrounds and age-groups and use different perspectives to understand their journey and challenges.

My professional journey began as a Mental Health Nurse,during which I obtained the Diploma In Counselling Skills, and have since been using  integrative therapy, which includes the Person-Centered Approach providing a frame for empathy and non-judgment, while other techniques address different  aspects of their challenges, help them change unhealthy thought patterns, focus on future goals, and understand how past experiences influence the present. I am an Accredited Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

My Work

My clients seek therapy to talk about personal issues, feelings of anger, sadness, powerlessness. As expert of their life, they share their anxiety about  relationship issues, childhood experiences, and work performance or being unemployed. They struggle with low self-esteem. They recognise facing a pattern of behaviour that does not allow them to deal with complex emotions and they feel powerless with family dynamics. They disconnect with siblings, and find relief being isolated. They worry about their personal identity and future. They want autonomy and respect  to control their own life.

I offer empathy and a safe, confidential space to help you explore your experiences, wishes, and goals, and set the agenda to prioritise issues for therapy, building  thus a trusting relationship to work collaboratively, where there is listening without judgement or criticism and where you will gain clarity by exploring difficulties, find meaning in your experiences and  autonomy.

I understand attending therapy can be overwhelming and hard, you are not alone. I am here to work alongside you. Therapy often involves exploring past experiences, enabling you making sense of your experiences, feeling heard, accepted, developing new ways of coping and enabling you feel at ease with yourself.

Professional Development

Since my initial training, I have completed successfully post-graduate studies, including specialist training at King’s College London  in interventions for serious mental illness, I also  hold a  Certificate in Coaching and Psychological  Coaching from  the Centre for Coaching. I  regularly update my skills  through additional training. Recent CPD includes a Professional Certificate in Coping with Abandonment in Abusive Relationships, Advanced Training  in Bereavement and Loss, Trauma-informed Practice, Anger Management, and collaborating with Adult Adopted Clients.

Clinical Experience.

 My experience spans a wide range of settings, where I  worked with survivors of abuse, trauma, and grief, and have supported individuals living with long-term health conditions. I  facilitated  health awareness groups and provided vital support during the pandemic for those struggling  with COVID-related losses and transitions. I am a Mental Health First-Aider.
