About Nina
Nina Wilson is a counsellor who uses Narrative and client-centred approaches to help people make sense of difficult experiences. She practises in the United Kingdom and brings seven years of counselling experience to her work. Nina is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which is listed as her credential.
Nina focuses on the person rather than a diagnosis. She helps people talk through stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, low self-esteem and mood difficulties.
Background and approach
She also supports people with relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, eating and sleeping problems, and issues linked to ADHD or neurodiversity. Her style is practical and collaborative. Nina listens for the stories people tell about themselves and then helps them see those stories from other angles.
She uses client-centred listening alongside techniques drawn from Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to suit each person’s needs. Before training as a counsellor, Nina worked in the care sector for over 28 years in a range of settings. That background informs how she builds trusting sessions and stays practical about everyday life.
She says therapy is a partnership where small steps add up to change. People meet her for short-term focused work or for longer conversations about coping and recovery. Sessions aim to identify manageable steps, improve communication, and help people regain a sense of control over day-to-day challenges.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Nina directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How Narrative and Client-Centred Work Online
Narrative Therapy helps people reframe personal stories and see problems as separate from themselves. Online sessions can make it easier to talk through those stories over time, whether the focus is addiction, trauma or low self-worth. Client-Centred Therapy centres the person’s experience and aims to create a space where they feel heard and respected. That approach supports a steady, person-led pace for tackling issues such as anxiety or relationship strain.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, used selectively, offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping. It can be useful alongside narrative work when impulsivity, anger or self-harm are present. Nina will discuss these approaches with each person and together decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. The choice of approach is a collaborative process and may change as therapy progresses.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging gives flexibility around work, childcare and daily routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be quicker to fit into a lunch break, while live chat and messaging support brief check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to keep continuity and to use approaches like narrative re-authoring and skills practice in ways that suit the individual.
