Nina Wilson , BACP

Nina Wilson is a qualified counsellor with seven years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, indicating membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She trained in humanistic and existential approaches and works from an integrative, person-centred perspective that sees each client as a unique individual rather than a diagnosis. Her practice emphasizes a holistic view of wellbeing - addressing psychological, emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects - and adapts therapeutic methods to fit each person's needs.

She combines Person-Centred Therapy with elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Existential Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Feminist Therapy. She is LGBT aware, trauma informed, and culturally sensitive, tailoring interventions to respect a client’s background and experiences. Nina predominantly works with addiction and recovery, and has experience supporting people with ADHD and neurodiversity, domestic abuse, trauma and PTSD, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, kleptomania, hoarding, loss and grief, boundary setting, communication difficulties, and self-harm.

Before qualifying as a counsellor, Nina spent over 28 years working across the care sector, from elderly care to long-term institutional mental health settings, experience that informs her ability to build effective therapeutic relationships. She recognises that seeking help is a significant step and approaches each person with respect, empathy, and a commitment to helping them find ways to manage or move beyond the challenges they face.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Nina draws on several established approaches to tailor work to each client. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the individual's own experience and capacity for growth by creating a supportive, non-directive environment; it is helpful for self-esteem issues, relationship concerns, and navigating life transitions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, used in part within her practice, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, reducing self-harm and impulsive behaviours, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Existential Therapy explores questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility, supporting people facing grief, identity concerns, or major life changes by helping them identify values and make purposeful decisions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process and happens collaboratively. Nina works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and circumstances, then adapts methods to find the best fit rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. Licensed professionals and therapists can combine techniques over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules, mobility needs, and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments.
