Nina Wilson , BACP

Nina Wilson is a counsellor who uses humanistic and existential ideas alongside client-centred care. She places the person first and focuses on their life experience rather than a diagnosis. Nina works to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, low self-esteem and other concerns.

Her approach is flexible and tailored to each person. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy and Existential Therapy to meet practical needs. Sessions aim to help people manage difficult feelings, make decisions and find clearer ways forward.

Nina has seven years' counselling experience and a background of over 28 years working in the care sector. That earlier work included elderly care and long-term mental health settings, which she says helped her learn how to build steady working relationships.

She has a BACP accreditation, and offers therapy for a wide range of issues including addiction and recovery, ADHD and neurodiversity, domestic abuse, depression, grief and eating or sleeping problems. Nina is LGBT aware and trauma informed.

People can expect a straightforward, person-focused style that adapts methods to the situation. Nina aims to support clients as they find ways to live with, manage or overcome the difficulties they bring to sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens with empathy and helps people name what matters to them, supporting personal choices and self-directed change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships; it can help with self-control, impulsivity and coping with crises. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, values and life choices, helping people face difficult questions and find purpose when life feels uncertain.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Nina will work with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and situation. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs and priorities shift.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation when bandwidth allows, phone sessions are handy when a quicker check-in is needed, and text or chat can suit those who prefer written reflection or shorter, ongoing contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and daily life, while keeping a steady course of support with a registered or accredited professional.
