About Nina
Nina Wilson is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional practice. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, addiction, trauma, low self-esteem, depression and relationship-related concerns including intimacy and codependency.
Nina uses a person-centred approach that keeps the individual in focus rather than labels or diagnoses. Sessions are conversational and practical. She listens for what matters to the client and helps them identify manageable ways to cope or change patterns that cause distress.
Her work draws on existential ideas that look at meaning and choice, and on techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy that support emotional regulation and distress tolerance. She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find reasons to change and narrative therapy to reframe difficult stories about the self.
Nina has substantial prior experience in the care sector, including many years supporting older adults and people in long-term institutional settings. That background informs how she works with complex needs, trauma, addiction and neurodiversity such as ADHD.
In sessions she focuses on skills like boundary setting, communication and coping strategies for stress, anger and grief. Practical tasks and short-term plans are commonly used alongside talking so clients can try things between sessions and assess what helps.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment. Sessions take place in the United Kingdom and are conducted in English.
How sessions work
How Nina uses therapy approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person and their own goals. It involves reflective listening and helping people identify what matters to them, which can help with low self-esteem, stress and relationship patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing emotions, tolerating distress and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It is useful for strong mood swings, anger and impulsivity. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and personal responsibility, helping people facing major life changes or questions about purpose.Nina approaches choice of method as a collaborative process. She will discuss different ways of working and help the client decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. This means sessions can focus on skill-building, exploring life meanings or motivating change depending on what the client needs.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting therapy into a busy life, shorter check-in options and not needing to travel for appointments. The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals in the UK often offer online sessions that make it easier to keep therapy alongside work, parenting or other commitments.
