About Nadezda
Nadezda Georgiou offers calm, practical support to people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief or depression. She speaks plainly and listens carefully, helping clients spot patterns that keep them stuck and find small, workable steps forward. Nadezda emphasises the client’s strengths and treats each person as the expert on their own life.
She draws on eight years of practice in the United Kingdom and holds a BA (Hons) in Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies.
Background and approach
Her background includes an accredited diploma in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, which she uses to inform how she works with trauma and abuse. Nadezda blends present-focused strategies with exploration of past relationships to make sense of current problems. In sessions she offers a mix of approaches suited to the person in front of her.
That can mean noticing how thoughts and behaviours keep anxiety going, working on values and commitment, or exploring attachment patterns that affect closeness and trust. She aims for clear, simple techniques rather than jargon, and checks in often to see what is helpful. Parents and carers reading on a phone can expect short, direct conversations about goals.
Nadezda helps people plan practical steps they can try between sessions. She also pays attention to how past relationships influence present reactions, so old hurts are understood rather than repeated. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, communication problems, control and commitment issues, family of origin difficulties, and separation.
The aim is to reduce immediate distress and build skills for longer term change.
How Nadezda blends approaches for online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking steps towards those values. It helps with anxiety, stress and low mood by teaching how to notice difficult thoughts and still move forward. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy examines past relationship patterns and how they shape current responses; this approach can be helpful for relationship problems, trust issues and repeating cycles of behaviour.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will choose methods to try and review what is useful, making changes as needed in a collaborative way.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people read facial cues and body language, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, and messaging or live chat suit shorter check-ins or those who prefer not to be on camera. These options help people fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and daily life, while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional understanding.
