Nina Wilson works from a humanistic and existential base, putting the person at the centre of therapy. She uses person-centred ideas alongside practical tools so people can find clearer ways to cope. Nina presents as calm and straightforward, aiming to make sessions feel like a steady place to think things through.

She helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions and trauma. Depression, low self-esteem and grief are also areas she regularly supports.

Background and approach

There is particular focus on issues such as intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, anger, career concerns and coping with big life changes. Nina blends Client-Centred Therapy with elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy. She adapts the mix to each person, using conversational work and practical skill-building depending on what is needed.

Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to the individual. Her background includes seven years of counselling practice and more than 28 years working in care settings before training as a counsellor. That experience shaped her approach to relationships and day-to-day challenges.

Nina is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. People who come to her can expect straightforward language and a focus on what helps in everyday life. She aims to support people as they learn to manage, live with, or move beyond the difficulties they face.

Taking the first step is recognised as a brave move, and she meets that with practical support and steady reflection.

How Nina’s approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, understanding and reflecting back what matters to you. It helps when someone needs a calm space to talk, to feel heard and to discover their own solutions. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsive reactions and improving relationships. It is useful for stress, anger and coping with intense feelings. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change and can be especially helpful for addictions and making life changes.

Finding the right fit is part of the work. Nina will discuss different approaches with each person and together they will decide which methods to try first. She adapts her mix of listening and skills training to match a person's goals, pace and preferences, and reviews progress as therapy continues.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is useful, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates, written reflection or reaching out between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and everyday life while keeping the therapeutic process collaborative and focused.
