Nina Wilson, BACP

Nina Wilson uses a person-centred, humanistic approach to counselling. She focuses on the whole person and aims to help people make practical changes in their everyday lives. Nina holds BACP accreditation and brings seven years of therapeutic experience to her work in the United Kingdom.

Nina adapts her sessions to each person's needs. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Existential Therapy to help with stress, anxiety and addictions. Conversations are plain and direct, aimed at building useful skills and clearer ways of thinking.

She has a particular background in supporting people through trauma, grief and relationship difficulties that affect self-esteem and intimacy. Nina also works with problems such as sleeping and eating difficulties, anger, and challenges at work or during life changes. She includes attention to neurodiversity and ADHD when relevant to someone’s experience.

Before becoming a counsellor, Nina spent many years in the care sector, including work with older adults and long-term mental health services. That practical experience underpins her focus on straightforward, steady support. Sessions are collaborative, with goals agreed together and reviewed as progress is made.

Therapy with Nina aims to be respectful and down-to-earth. She helps people identify small steps that fit their life and values. The aim is to reduce distress and increase coping skills over time.

How Nina’s approaches translate to online counselling

Nina blends Client-Centred Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Existential Therapy in ways that suit online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting, helping people feel heard and understood so they can explore what matters most. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy supplies practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can be practised between sessions. Existential Therapy looks at life meaning and choice, helping people clarify values when facing transitions or uncertainty.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. Nina will talk through your goals and preferences and try different ways of working until a good fit is found. The aim is a collaborative plan that matches your needs and pace.

Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone works well if bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging lets people reflect in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on meaningful change.
