About Nina
BACP. 7 years' experience. Based in the United Kingdom, Nina Wilson works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, career pressures, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Nina describes her approach as person-centred and integrative. She uses client-centred methods alongside elements of dialectical behaviour therapy, existential therapy, motivational interviewing and narrative therapy. In practice this means conversations focused on the person rather than labels, with practical strategies layered in where they help.
Before counselling she worked for more than 28 years in the care sector, across elderly care and long-term institutional mental health settings. That background informs her way of working and her experience in building therapeutic relationships.
In sessions she pays attention to life circumstances, emotional responses and behaviour. She aims to help people find ways to manage, live with, or change patterns that cause distress. Work can include looking at boundaries, communication, coping skills, and recovery from substance or behavioural addiction.
Nina notes awareness of LGBT concerns, trauma, and cultural differences as part of her practice. She encourages people who are nervous about starting to take the first step and explains how to arrange an initial appointment via the service's matching and booking process.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person and their own goals. It involves reflective listening and working at the client’s pace to build understanding and clarify priorities. This approach can help with anxiety, self-esteem and coping with life changes.Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) elements provide practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These techniques are often useful for anger, impulsivity, addiction-related behaviours and emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nina will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit the client's needs, aims and preferences, and she adapts techniques as sessions progress.
Practical benefits of online counselling depend on the session formats offered. The profile does not list specific formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals use online sessions to continue therapy in ways that fit everyday life, while still working through the same kinds of issues as face-to-face meetings.
