About Nina
Nina Wilson is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with seven years of counselling experience. She offers practical, person-centred support for issues such as stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, low self-esteem, depression and anger. Sessions are conducted in English from the United Kingdom.
Nina works from a humanistic and existential background and uses person-centred principles in her sessions. She focuses on the person rather than a diagnosis, and helps people find ways to live with, manage or move through difficulties. Conversations tend to be straightforward and focused on what matters to the client now.
Her practice draws on a flexible mix of approaches. Elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are used alongside narrative and motivational techniques. This mix is used to help with emotion regulation, impulsivity and changing patterns that cause repeated conflict or distress.
Before qualifying as a counsellor, Nina spent over 28 years working in care settings, including elderly care and long-term institutional mental health services. That background informs a practical style and familiarity with a wide range of life circumstances and long-term support needs.
People seeking help with anger, stress at work, relationship friction or problems tied to addiction or loss will find straightforward strategies and focused conversation. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to decide how to work together.
How sessions work
Approaches used online and how they help
Nina draws on Client-Centred Therapy in which the focus is on the person and their own goals; this helps people clarify what matters and choose practical next steps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) elements are used to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that suit people who struggle with impulsivity or strong reactions. Existential Therapy is used to look at meaning, values and life choices when people face major change or loss.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nina will discuss the options with each person and decide together which methods fit the client’s priorities, life situation and goals. That collaborative decision is revisited as progress is made.
Confirm the current online session options before booking as the profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel. Many people find that remote sessions let them practise skills in the context of daily life while still having focused therapeutic conversation.
