About Nina
Nina Wilson is a counsellor who uses person-centred and existential approaches to guide people through difficult times. She draws on seven years of experience and a background in long-term care to build steady, practical support. Nina works with adults on issues like stress, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem and parenting concerns.
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and holds that credential as part of her practice.
Background and approach
Nina prefers a plain, calm style in sessions. She focuses on the whole person rather than a diagnosis. Conversations look at emotions, behaviour and life context so practical steps can be tried between meetings.
She adapts tools from client-centred work, dialectical behaviour therapy and existential ideas to fit each person’s situation. Her experience in the care sector spans many years and settings. That background informs how she responds to loss, long-term stress and complex needs.
It also shapes her listening and how she helps people set boundaries and routines. In sessions Nina often helps people find small changes that make day-to-day life easier. She supports people exploring parenting pressures, grief, relationship strain and coping with change.
The work is collaborative and paced to what the person feels ready to try. Practical techniques may include skills for managing overwhelming feelings, short goal-focused plans, and narrative work to reframe difficult stories. Nina aims to make the sessions feel straightforward, respectful and useful for everyday life.

Approaches that suit online therapy
Nina often uses client-centred work and dialectical behaviour ideas when meeting people online. Client-centred work focuses on listening and building the conversation around the person’s priorities, which helps when someone wants to explore feelings about parenting, grief or life changes. Dialectical behaviour techniques offer practical skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions, useful for stress, addiction or anger issues.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Nina will discuss different methods with each person and agree on what to try first. That way the sessions reflect the individual’s needs, goals and pace, and adjustments can be made if something doesn’t fit.
Online formats allow flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let the therapist and client see facial cues and hold longer sessions. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, brief updates or talking through small tasks between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around family life, work and other commitments.
