About Nina
Nina Wilson is a counsellor who draws on humanistic and existential ideas in her work. She puts each person at the centre of sessions and aims to help them make sense of difficult feelings. Nina uses practical tools and listening to support people through anxiety, depression, grief and addiction.
She is BACP registered and based in the United Kingdom. Nina takes a whole-person view, thinking about emotional, psychological, physical and spiritual sides of life.
Background and approach
She does not define someone by a diagnosis and focuses on their lived experience. Sessions are tailored to the individual rather than following a fixed script. Her practice blends Person-Centred Therapy with elements of dialectical approaches, motivational interviewing and narrative and existential ideas.
That mix allows for both skills-based work and reflective conversations about meaning and values. Clients can expect straightforward discussion, active listening and practical steps they can try between sessions. Nina has seven years of counselling experience and nearly three decades of prior care-sector work.
That background includes supporting people with long-term mental health needs and older adults, which she says helped her build ways to connect across different life stages. She lists a wide range of concerns she commonly helps people with, including stress, trauma, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD, self-esteem and LGBT-related issues. Nina also works with grief, intimacy-related problems, anger and career stress.
Her approach aims to meet people where they are and help them find manageable ways forward.

How Nina's approaches transfer to online work
Nina uses Person-Centred Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy elements in her practice. Person-Centred Therapy focuses on attentive listening and helping people find their own solutions; it suits people who want a gentle, exploratory space to talk about feelings and choices. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, used here in part, introduces practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving day-to-day coping, which can help with anxiety, mood swings and addictive urges.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and needs. That means combining reflective conversation with specific skills or short practical tasks when helpful, and adjusting the mix as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and allow for quicker check-ins or follow-up conversations. Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are set by the therapist; ask about what exact online or remote formats are available when you schedule.
