Nina Wilson , BACP

Nina Wilson is a qualified counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), with seven years of therapeutic experience. She trained in humanistic and existential approaches and works from a holistic perspective that considers psychological, emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of a person. Nina emphasises the individual rather than a diagnostic label, supporting people to find ways to live with, manage, or move beyond the difficulties they face.

As an integrative counsellor, she draws on person-centred methods alongside elements of dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), transactional analysis, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), existential therapy, solution-focused therapy, and feminist therapy, adapting techniques to suit each person. She is LGBT aware, trauma informed, and attentive to multicultural factors to ensure therapy is tailored to the client’s needs. Her clinical work most frequently focuses on addiction and recovery and includes experience 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 care settings, including elderly care and long-term institutional mental health services, experience that contributes to her ability to build effective therapeutic relationships. Nina is not currently accepting clients.

Therapeutic approaches and online therapy with Nina Wilson

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work, offering a supportive environment where the individual’s values and goals guide the process; this approach is useful for building self-awareness, addressing low self-esteem, and navigating life transitions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, reducing self-harm, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, making it helpful for people struggling with emotional regulation, impulsivity, and relationship difficulties. Existential Therapy explores questions of meaning, freedom, and personal responsibility, supporting people facing grief, life changes, or deep questions about identity and purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Nina works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the work remains relevant and responsive to the person’s progress.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and can make it easier to access a licensed professional from home or elsewhere. These options allow for consistent contact and varied formats to suit different communication styles and life circumstances.
