ABOUT NADIA
I am of mixed ethnic heritage; Irish and Egyptian parentage and London-born and raised.
I am a fully registered member of the UK’s largest professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists, the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) (register number 397861) and adhere to their ethical framework and ongoing continued professional development requirements. I am also in ongoing clinical supervision to ensure I practice ethically and efficiently. I am registered with the ICO and hold suitable insurance coverage.
I am also a senior yoga and mindfulness teacher and bring a deep awareness of the body into the therapeutic space; how we hold our soul wounds in our bodies and nervous systems as well as the stories we perpetuate in our minds.
I initially worked as a journalist and feature writer before I had my children. I am a mother of four. Becoming a mother set me on a new path as a doula supporting women in childbirth and navigating the psycho-emotional challenges of matrescence. My personal journey and professional interest in the female body, and how it carries trauma, led me to train and practice as a holistic pelvic health specialist and eventually led me to counselling.
"My sessions with Nadia are not only something I value deeply but also something I really enjoy. Our sessions, under her careful and wise guidance, give me the space and time to reflect on what it means to be truly human and to work on welcoming all parts of myself. Sometimes exhausting and emotional, sometimes joyful and grounding - i appreciate the way Nadia leads me to really feel what’s present and true in my body. I leave my sessions feeling confident that I have the necessary tools to return to when needed in my day to day life.”

"My journey with Nadia has truly been one of the most fruitful experiences of my life so far. Filled with so many lessons of growth to get to where I am today. She has been instrumental with her guidance through taking the time to help me to look within myself in many ways that are healing and insightful. She works with a kindness and understanding that makes me feel unbelievably comfortable. She’s a therapist who is caring, thoughtful, supportive and guiding in all the ways that truly make me feel so heard and for that I see, and have felt a massive evolution within myself over our time together. My past, my present and what I want for my future hold such an importance that makes working with her truly amazing. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”
