Nina Wilson

Nina Wilson is a counsellor who uses a person-centred and existential approach. She places each person at the centre of sessions and supports them as they find ways to manage life’s difficulties.

She draws on seven years of counselling experience and holds BACP. Nina works in a holistic way that looks at emotions, thought patterns and everyday behaviour. She emphasises the person over a diagnosis and helps people make changes that fit their life.

Her day-to-day practice uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy and solution-focused ideas. Those methods are adapted to each person rather than applied the same way to everyone.

Nina has a background of over 28 years working in the care sector before becoming a counsellor. That experience includes work in elderly care and long-term institutional mental health settings, which she says helped her learn to build steady therapeutic relationships.

She commonly helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Other areas she supports include grief, sleep and eating concerns, anger, ADHD and coping with life changes.

Taking the first step can feel hard, so she aims to make the start straightforward. Prospective clients follow the site Start Therapy process and complete a short questionnaire to begin matching and booking.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Nina combines Client-Centred Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her practice. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person’s experience and building a trusting therapeutic relationship. It helps when someone needs a steady, empathic space to talk through feelings and decisions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers practical coping skills for intense emotions and impulsive behaviours, which can be useful for stress, anger and self-regulation issues.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means plans can be adjusted as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant to what the client needs.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also be useful when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs a lower-bandwidth option. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online sessions, and Nina will discuss which way of working suits your circumstances during the initial steps.
