About Nanda
Nanda Odedra is a counsellor and a member of NCPS with four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self esteem, depression, and issues around motivation and confidence. She also supports clients dealing with family and parenting concerns, bipolar mood challenges, infidelity, jealousy and multicultural issues.
Her approach begins with listening to each person’s story and recognising their existing strengths. She encourages clients to notice small changes and tries to keep sessions practical and down to earth. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what can be done next, rather than detailed theory.
She aims to help people develop clearer ways to manage stress and overwhelming emotions. That can mean looking at coping strategies, thought patterns, and how relationships affect mood. Where trauma or abuse is involved, sessions move at a pace set by the client and focus on stabilising day-to-day functioning.
For parenting and family concerns the work centres on the individual's experience and role, not on running family therapy sessions. When multicultural issues arise she pays attention to cultural context and how that shapes beliefs and choices.
Sessions are practical and conversational. The counsellor asks about goals and checks in on progress. People are invited to choose the pace and focus they find most useful.
Therapeutic approaches and how online counselling works
Two evidence-based approaches commonly used in counselling are practical skills work and trauma-informed support. Practical skills work focuses on building everyday coping skills and changing unhelpful thought patterns so people can manage stress and anxiety more effectively. Trauma-informed support pays attention to safety and pacing, and helps people stabilise after experiences of abuse or overwhelming events.Another useful approach is mood management for depression and bipolar-related lows. This involves identifying patterns in mood, routines and activity levels, and trying small, manageable changes to lessen low mood and improve routine. These methods are straightforward to describe and adapt to the client’s circumstances.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The counsellor will talk about what feels most relevant and test different methods together. Goals, preferences and how someone responds in early sessions shape the plan going forward.
