Nina Wilson, BACP

Nina Wilson is a counsellor who draws on person-centred and existential ideas to help people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and life changes. She holds BACP accreditation, and she frames work around the whole person rather than a diagnosis. Nina speaks plainly in sessions and focuses on practical ways to manage problems day to day.

Her practice mixes Client-Centred Therapy with elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy. That blend is used to match what each person needs, so conversations might include reflecting personal values, building coping skills, or reworking harmful stories about the self.

Nina has seven years of counselling experience alongside a longer background in the care sector. Before training as a counsellor she worked for more than 28 years in care settings, including elderly care and long-term mental health services. That history informs how she supports people through grief, addiction, trauma and ageing concerns.

In sessions she aims to help people find ways to live with, manage or move beyond difficult issues. Practical focus often includes emotion regulation strategies, clearer communication, setting boundaries, and exploring personal meaning. Work is adapted to each person's needs and life circumstances.

She is LGBT aware, trauma informed and attentive to multicultural backgrounds. Nina encourages straightforward steps for getting started and aims to make early sessions feel manageable for people who are nervous about seeking help.

How Nina's approaches translate to online counselling

Nina blends Client-Centred Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in accessible ways. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely, reflecting what matters to the person and helping them find their own solutions. It is useful for low self-esteem, grief and major life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete skills such as emotion regulation, distress tolerance and clearer communication, which can help with addictions, anger and anxiety.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Nina will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. Early sessions typically clarify what matters, set realistic steps and try techniques that can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and caring commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use skills learned in real-life settings between meetings. Ask about the exact formats offered so you can pick the arrangements that best fit your routine.
