About Nina
Nina Wilson is a counsellor who uses a person-centred, humanistic approach in her work. She frames sessions around the individual and their life story, helping people find practical ways to manage stress, anxiety, addictions and sleep problems. Nina holds BACP registration and draws on seven years of counselling experience.
Nina blends person-centred practice with elements of existential therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. She adapts techniques to each person, so conversations focus on what matters most to the individual rather than fitting someone to a method. This means sessions are shaped around the client's goals and day-to-day challenges.
Her background includes long experience in the care sector, with over 28 years working in settings from elderly care to long-term mental health services. That history informs a steady, practical way of working and an emphasis on building a reliable working relationship with each person who comes for help.
Nina commonly supports people dealing with trauma, domestic abuse, depression, grief, ADHD and a range of addictive behaviours. She also works with issues such as low self-esteem, hoarding, boundary setting and communication problems. Sleep and rest difficulties are one of the areas she addresses as part of a broader picture of wellbeing.
Sessions are shaped collaboratively and adjusted as needs change. Nina describes her approach as LGBT aware and trauma informed, and she aims to respond to cultural differences in a respectful way. To begin, people are invited to describe their concerns and set practical goals to work towards.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Nina commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy elements in her work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person's experience and priorities, offering space to talk through what matters and to set goals at a comfortable pace. DBT techniques address emotional regulation and coping skills, which can help when anxiety, overwhelming stress or impulsive behaviours are present.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Nina aims to collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences, and she adjusts plans as circumstances change. That means the therapy style can shift as progress is made or new problems emerge.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around everyday life, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when a quick review is needed. Talk with the therapist about practical arrangements and which approaches you want to try so sessions are organised to suit your routine.
