Nina Wilson, BACP

Nina Wilson is a counsellor with seven years of professional practice who trained in humanistic and existential approaches to therapy. She works from an integrative, person-centered perspective that treats each person as an individual rather than a diagnosis, aiming to support people as they discover ways to manage, live with, or move beyond the difficulties they face. She combines Person-Centred Therapy with elements from approaches such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Transactional Analysis, CBT, Existential Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Feminist Therapy to tailor treatment to each person's needs.

Nina has focused experience in addiction and recovery and has worked with ADHD and neurodiversity, domestic abuse, trauma and PTSD, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, kleptomania, hoarding, loss and grief, boundary setting, communication problems, and self-harm. She is LGBT aware, trauma informed, and multiculturally aware, which informs how she adapts her work to reflect each clientâs background and circumstances. She places emphasis on holistic care that considers psychological, emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of wellbeing.

Before becoming a counsellor Nina spent over 28 years working across the care sector in settings from elderly care to long-term institutional mental health services, experience she says has enriched her ability to build effective therapeutic relationships. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings a respectful, collaborative approach to supporting people through change and recovery.

Integrative Approaches for Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-directive space where the clientâs experience guides the work. It helps people who want to explore their feelings, build self-understanding, and make personal changes at their own pace. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines practical skills training - for example in managing strong emotions and improving relationships - with acceptance strategies, and can be useful for people struggling with intense emotions, impulsivity, or patterns that feel overwhelming. Existential Therapy explores questions about meaning, choice, and responsibility, helping people facing life transitions, grief, or a sense of disconnection to clarify values and find sources of purpose.

Nina approaches these methods collaboratively, recognising that discovering the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. She works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and practical needs and adapts methods to suit each person rather than applying a fixed model. This collaborative stance helps shape a plan that feels right for the individual.

Online therapy with Nina is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to match sessions to different lifestyles and needs. These options make it easier to attend appointments from home, work around busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change, while still working with registered professionals and therapists trained to support recovery and personal growth.
