About Nina
Nina Wilson is a counsellor who uses person-centred and existential approaches to help people navigate difficult times. She holds BACP registration and draws on seven years of professional practice. Nina describes her work as personalised and practical, meeting each person where they are. She is LGBT aware and attentive to cultural differences.
Her sessions focus on the whole person - thoughts, feelings, body and values. She listens for what matters most and helps people identify steps they can take between sessions. For people coping with addiction and recovery she brings direct experience from earlier care roles and clinical work in related challenges.
Nina also supports people facing anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and issues with self-esteem. She has worked with problems such as hoarding, kleptomania, boundary setting and self-harm, and she is experienced in working alongside ADHD and neurodiversity. The aim is to find practical ways to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.
Before training as a counsellor Nina spent over 28 years working in the care sector, including elderly care and long-term mental health settings. That background informs her style and helps her build working relationships based on respect and steadiness. She adapts her approach to match each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.
In sessions she blends Person-Centred Therapy with elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. This mix is used to support people through grief, relationship concerns, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, and life changes. Nina encourages practical steps, honest reflection and gradual change.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online support
Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor offering non-judgemental listening and reflection to help people make their own choices. This approach suits issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns and general life stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, used in part here, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving impulse control, which can help with addictions, anger and self-harm. Existential Therapy helps people reflect on meaning, values and major life changes, and can be useful for grief, career shifts and questions about identity.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nina will discuss what feels most helpful and tailor methods to fit a person's goals and preferences. The process is collaborative - clients try different ways of working and decide together what to keep and what to change.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to keep regular contact while balancing work, family and recovery commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their techniques for remote sessions, helping to maintain continuity and focus on practical steps between meetings.
