Nina Wilson, BACP

Nina Wilson is a counsellor who uses a humanistic and person-centred approach. She places the person at the heart of the work and helps people make sense of midlife changes, stress and difficult life events. Nina holds BACP and brings seven years of counselling experience to each session.

Nina describes her practice as integrative. She adapts Person-Centred Therapy alongside elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Existential Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy to suit individual needs. Sessions focus on simple, practical steps and on understanding what matters most to the client.

She commonly helps people dealing with anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, low self-esteem and grief. Nina also supports those facing relationship strain, career uncertainty, sleep or eating difficulties, and the particular challenges that can come with ageing. She is LGBT aware and works with people who identify across diverse backgrounds.

Before counselling she worked for over 28 years in the care sector, including elderly care and long-term mental health settings. That background informs a calm, steady style and experience in building trusting therapeutic relationships. Nina aims to meet people where they are and to work at a pace that feels manageable.

Her practical focus includes helping people develop clearer boundaries, improve communication, manage impulses, and cope with life changes. Nina encourages modest, achievable goals so progress can be noticed between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches work in online counselling

Nina uses a person-centred foundation alongside Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Existential Therapy in her work. Person-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can find their own solutions; it suits many life transitions and emotional struggles. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers practical skills for managing strong emotions and impulsive behaviour, which can help with anxiety, addiction and anger. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and values, and can be helpful for people re-evaluating life direction during midlife changes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Nina will discuss what matters to the client, try different ways of working when needed, and together they will decide which methods feel most useful for the client's goals and preferences.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and offer quieter surroundings or shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people remain in familiar routines while working on stress, relationships and coping strategies. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor sessions to match practical needs and life schedules, helping make therapy more manageable alongside everyday commitments.
