About Nadir

Nadir Mothojakan offers steady, practical support for men navigating loss, stress and major life changes. He focuses on helping people find calmer ways to cope, speak about difficult experiences, and regain a sense of control. His approach aims to make each conversation straightforward and useful for everyday life.

He draws on more than 33 years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, working from a stance of empathy and respect. Sessions centre on listening, naming feelings, and helping people try new ways of handling old problems. Common themes include grief, relationship difficulties, work loss, and the emotional effects of long-term health issues.

Nadir helps clients set clearer boundaries and practise saying what they need. He encourages active expression so feelings that have been pushed down can be heard and worked with. That often leads to small, practical changes that improve day-to-day functioning.

Therapy blends different approaches to match each person’s situation. He uses techniques from acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking, cognitive behaviour methods and client-centred work to guide sessions. The aim is to support autonomy and help people clarify goals they want to reach.

He also supports concerns such as anxiety, depression, addiction, ADHD and parenting strain. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. Those interested are asked to begin by using the platform’s Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How Nadir's approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then to take actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression and making steady progress through life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand and change how they connect with others, useful for relationship struggles and trust issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Nadir treats it as a collaboration - he listens to your goals and preferences, then suggests methods that fit. Together you can try different techniques and adjust what you do as you learn what helps most.

The biography notes that online sessions are offered, but does not list specific formats, so please confirm the exact session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people join from another location or keep appointments during changes in work or travel, while allowing focus on practical skills and coping strategies rather than logistics.
