About Nazia

Nazia Uddin is an Assistant Psychologist and trainee CBT practitioner at Private Therapy Clinic, offering emotional wellness coaching and goal-oriented support for adolescents and adults navigating a variety of life challenges.

Drawing from her academic training and over three years of hands-on psychology experience, Nazia blends evidence-informed guidance with a compassionate, collaborative approach. She is currently preparing to pursue doctoral-level studies in Clinical Psychology in the UK.

Coaching Focus Areas

Nazia works with individuals seeking support with:

• Self-confidence and self-esteem
• Focus, productivity, and motivation (including ADHD coaching)
• Stress management and emotional regulation
• Navigating identity, belonging, and cultural challenges
• Support with relationship or interpersonal difficulties
• Coping with overwhelming emotions, anxiety, and low mood

Her coaching is especially valuable for individuals processing past emotional wounds or seeking new tools to build healthier thinking and behavioural patterns.

Approach to Emotional Wellness

Nazia uses a structured and goal-oriented coaching framework based on Cognitive Behavioural principles. While she is not yet a licensed clinical therapist in Dubai, she applies her knowledge in:

• Identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns
• Developing practical strategies for daily coping
• Enhancing emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness
• ADHD-focused executive function coaching (time management, organisation, self-monitoring)

Clients working with Nazia can expect collaborative sessions that are warm, non-judgmental, and adapted to each individual’s needs and life context.

ADHD Coaching

Nazia offers ADHD-informed support for individuals who find it difficult to focus, manage time, or maintain motivation. Her coaching includes:

• Building effective routines and task strategies
• Managing procrastination and impulsivity
• Enhancing self-awareness and emotional resilience
• Empowering clients to set and meet personal and academic/professional goals

As someone who is neurodiversity-affirming, Nazia helps clients better understand their unique cognitive styles and build strategies around their strengths.

Education and Training

• MSc in Psychology – University of Westminster (Merit)
• B.A. in Philosophy – University of Reading (2:1 Honours)
• Dissertation: Explored cultural and racial barriers experienced by ethnic minority trainees in therapeutic training, awarded Distinction
• Currently in ongoing supervision and weekly training under HCPC-registered psychologists at Private Therapy Clinic
• Actively preparing for UK doctoral-level study in Clinical Psychology

Nazia’s academic achievements, particularly her focus on inclusion, race, and identity in mental health, inform her coaching style. She brings sensitivity, awareness, and insight to her sessions, particularly with clients from ethnically diverse, LGBTQ+, and intersectional backgrounds.
