About Nina

Nina Wilson helps people work through stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, low self-esteem and relationship or intimacy concerns using person-centred and existential approaches. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has seven years' experience as a counsellor in the United Kingdom.

She works in straightforward, conversational ways that focus on the whole person rather than a single label. Sessions aim to identify practical steps and coping strategies, and to make space for the emotions behind difficult experiences. Her practice draws on Client-Centred Therapy alongside elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Existential Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy.

Nina has particular experience with addiction and recovery, and with ADHD and neurodiversity. She also has experience supporting people affected by domestic abuse, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety and problems with boundaries or communication. These areas are often addressed through clear, goal-focused conversations and practical skills work when helpful.

Before training as a counsellor, she spent more than 28 years working in the care sector in settings that included elderly care and long-term mental health services. That background informs her practical approach to building working relationships and responding to complex needs.

Sessions typically look at current difficulties, personal values and small steps clients can use between meetings. Nina aims to help people manage or change the parts of life that cause distress, while recognising the wider context of their lives.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following the person's concerns and reflecting their experience back in straightforward language; it helps people who need a respectful listener and space to decide what matters to them. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) provides skills for managing strong emotions, improving tolerance of distress and reducing impulsive behaviours, which can benefit people dealing with self-harm, addiction or anger. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and personal values to help people facing life transitions, grief or questions about identity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss which methods seem useful and will adapt these based on the client's goals, needs and preferences. That decision is made together rather than imposed by the counsellor.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or choosing a phone call when video is less convenient. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to make sessions more practical while working through the issues described above.
