What is unique about me as a counsellor?
I focus on understanding what sits beneath the patterns that keep people feeling stuck, rather than just managing symptoms.
My approach combines clinical depth with practical, real-world strategies, creating sessions that feel calm, contained, and purposeful. I work within the full context of your life, including relationships and family systems, to support meaningful and lasting change.
One quirky fact
I live with a family of pranksters, where nothing stays where you left it, and no birthday passes without an elaborate practical joke. From bedazzled work tools to hiding every battery in the house, including the ones already inside remotes and clocks, our home runs on humour, mischief, and affection. It keeps life light, grounds my perspective, and reminds me that connection is often built through laughter as much as words.

“ Nadia, I didn’t get that feeling. She understood the neurodivergent side of things without making it the whole focus.”

“Nadia helped us slow things down and look at what was actually happening, instead of just reacting. It’s still a work in progress, but things feel more manageable now.”
