Nina Wilson, BACP

Nina Wilson is an integrative counsellor with seven years of professional experience who combines humanistic and existential training with practical, evidence-informed techniques. She works holistically, attending to psychological, emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of wellbeing, and places the person rather than a diagnostic label at the centre of care. Drawing on person-centred principles, she supports people as they explore ways to manage, live with, or move beyond difficulties they are facing.

Her approach is adaptable and tailored to each individual. She uses client-centred methods alongside elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), existential therapy, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused work to meet varied needs. She is LGBT aware, trauma informed, and sensitive to cultural difference, aiming to create a therapeutic space that respects each person’s background and experience.

Nina predominantly focuses on addiction and recovery, and has experience with ADHD and neurodiversity, domestic abuse, trauma and post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, kleptomania, hoarding, loss and grief, boundary setting, communication difficulties, and self-harm. Her wider specialties include stress, eating and sleeping concerns, parenting and family issues, relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, bipolar disorder, anger, career-related stress, and coping with life changes, among others.

Before training as a counsellor, she spent over 28 years working across the care sector, from elderly care to long-term institutional mental health settings. That background informs her ability to build strong therapeutic relationships and to work effectively with people in complex circumstances. She holds membership of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects recognised professional standards. She is not currently accepting clients.
