About Nina
Nina Wilson is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience. She lists stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem, grief, parenting and related concerns among her areas of work.
Nina uses a person-centred foundation in her practice. She focuses on the person rather than labelling problems. Sessions are intended to help people find ways to live with, manage or move through difficulties they face at home and in daily life.
Her approach draws on humanistic and existential ideas alongside techniques from DBT, motivational interviewing and narrative work. In practice this means conversations that look at current struggles, practical skills for distress, and the stories people tell about themselves.
Nina has significant background in care work, with over 28 years' experience in settings from elderly care to long-term mental health services. She says that this experience shaped how she builds working relationships and understands long-term support needs.
She also notes experience with addiction and recovery, ADHD and neurodiversity, domestic abuse, PTSD, low self-esteem, hoarding, self-harm, boundary setting and communication problems. Nina is LGBT aware and describes her practice as trauma informed and multiculturally aware.
To begin, she asks people to use the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session. The subscription model for sessions can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
The person-centred approach places the client at the heart of sessions. It focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people clarify what matters to them. This can help with decisions, relationships and parenting stresses.Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) elements offer practical skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive behaviour. These skills are often used when people report anger, addiction-related urges or intense anxiety. Motivational Interviewing is a short, conversational method that helps people clarify their own reasons for change and find direction when they feel stuck.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative step. The therapist and client will talk about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Nina aims to match methods to what each person needs and to review how approaches are working as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online appointments make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life. Online sessions can allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time and make it simpler to maintain continuity between appointments.
