Nina Wilson, BACP

Nina Wilson is a qualified counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional counselling experience and a long background in the care sector. Her BACP credential indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, reflecting a commitment to recognised professional standards.

Nina trained in humanistic and existential approaches and practices in an integrative, person-centred way. She views each person as more than a diagnosis and aims to understand the whole individual - psychologically, emotionally, physically, and spiritually - so that therapy can be tailored to life experience and personal strengths.

Her practice draws on Person-Centred Therapy alongside elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Transactional Analysis, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Existential Therapy, Solution-Focused methods, and Feminist Therapy. She is LGBT aware, trauma informed, and attentive to cultural differences, adapting methods to meet the needs of each person.

Nina predominantly works with addiction and recovery, and has experience supporting people with ADHD and neurodiversity, domestic abuse and trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, kleptomania, hoarding, loss and grief, boundary setting, communication difficulties, and self-harm. Before qualifying as a counsellor she spent over 28 years working across a range of care settings, including elderly care and long-term mental health services, which contributes to her confidence in building strong therapeutic relationships.

Recognising that seeking help can feel daunting, Nina approaches therapy with empathy and respect and aims to support people as they find ways to live with, manage, or move beyond the difficulties they face.

Integrative approaches and online therapeutic support

Nina uses a blend of well-established approaches to suit different needs, starting with Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on empathic listening and creating a respectful, non-directive space where the person leads the pace of change and explores what matters most to them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, useful for people dealing with self-harm, impulsivity, or strong emotional reactions. Nina also draws on Existential Therapy to help people explore meaning, choice, and how to navigate life changes or uncertainty in a thoughtful, values-based way.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Nina works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, and she adapts the mix of approaches as therapy progresses to better support those goals.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to access support from different locations. These formats offer flexibility in timing and communication style, allowing people to choose what feels most comfortable while still working with licensed professionals and therapists toward meaningful change.
