"As a therapist, I am a companion. I try to help people tune into their own wisdom."

- Virginia Satir

Welcome

I'm Nadir, a Family & Systemic Psychotherapist, Consultant, and Trainer. I have considerable experience working therapeutically with individuals, couples, and families in both the public, private, health, and social care sectors.

Every person is unique in their individuality, relationships, and family context. We are all part of a complex web of interactions, and these relationships impact us in different ways. Psychotherapy will support you in understanding the role of these relationships in your life and the lives of your loved ones.

Connection is at the heart of my practice. I combine a holistic approach to exploring the various challenges my clients face by reconnecting them to their life journey. Understanding is also essential to my psychotherapy approach, as is the role faith and culture play in my client's lives, in addition to any other influences that are important to them.

This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.
– Rumi

My Services

During a therapeutic process, I explore the clients' views and relationships to gain a deeper understanding of the problems they are experiencing. This approach helps individuals, couples, and family members communicate better and provides the space to allow families to change, develop and resolve conflict.

Testimonials

Nadir has helped us to understand each other better (both as a couple and relating to each other as parents and children). He has an ability to thoughtfully reflect the bigger picture, and helped us to explore the reasons that we act the way we do. He is an excellent listener, hearing the small details of our experiences. We have never felt judged by Nadir. It is easy to talk and share emotions- he has a gentle humour and puts us all at ease. We are very grateful for his support.

Nadir is very sympathetic and helped me find hope in my hard times. He is very easy to talk to and offers good advice and support when I needed it. He counselled me when I struggled with mental health issues such as depression and psychosis. He motivated me to go back into education and that has aided me into living a better life.

We would like to say it has been an absolute pleasure to experience our family therapy sessions with Nadir over the past few months. Nadir has offered us so many good tips, given great advice and really listened to what we had to say. Nothing was ever too much trouble and he showed such empathy with often difficult to talk about situations which has been really helpful. We will both miss our fortnightly sessions. Thank you Nadir

Nadir’s professionalism, understanding and sympathetic approach of my symptoms allowed me to put my complete trust in him disclosing my mental health and a physical disability. Without Nadir’s intervention especially when I was in crisis, I would not have been able to cope at the time without his guidance and support. His counselling sessions were crucial and over time lead to a high degree of positiveness to address my issues giving me a fresh perspective to carry on leading a normal lifestyle. Nadir is an inspiration to all that require his service.

Nadir has been a great mentor and more importantly a wonderful support system for me. He has helped me make peace with my past, so I do not spoil my present. He is extremely easy to talk to and offers superb advice when I needed it. He counselled me when I was struggling with depression and motivated me to go back into education and employment. What I admire most about Mr Khan is an excellent listener. He has enabled me to reinvent myself and be more loving towards my family members. Myself and my family are grateful for his support.

My family and I have found working with Nadir (2 plus months now) to be really useful and supportive. We have met with Nadir both face to face and over zoom and in each setting, he has kept everybody engaged and included - even those who report to not want to engage - they do in the end...! I feel like my family has found some peace and stability and I’m sure it’s no coincidence that the timing coincides with the weeks and exercises we’ve completed with Nadir!

Nadir is very perceptive and inclusive. This can be very welcoming to a family that is just starting family therapy or a family with past negative family therapy experiences. Therefore, I believe this is very helpful when learning and talking about hard topics and learning new coping strategies.
