About Me

Nina Wilson. Registered member 386992 MBACP.

I am a qualified therapist, and a registered member with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), this means that I work in an ethical way which adheres and aligns with the standards and principles set by the BACP.

I believe in working holistically, encompassing the whole client, psychologically, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. I do not believe a person is their diagnosis, or their problems, instead I prefer to focus on the person as a unique individual with life experiences. My role is to support them as they find ways to live with, manage or overcome any issues they may be experiencing.

I believe in person centred care, which places each and every client at the centre of their care.

Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked in the care industry for over 28 years, in various settings from, elderly care to working with long term institutionalised mental health care. I believe that this has afforded me with a wealth of knowledge and experience in working with people, and the ability to build effective working therapeutic relationships. I recently left my job working as the lead therapist at a local charity that provides abstinence based recovery support for people with addictive behaviours, to focus on my private practice. I also volunteer as a counsellor for South Essex Homes.

I am a humanistic, integrative counsellor, utilising Person-Centred Therapy, and elements of DBT, Transactional analysis, CBT, Existential Therapy, Inner child, Schema therapy, Solution Focussed Therapy and Feminist Therapy, adapted to suit the individual needs of each client. I am also LGBT aware, trauma informed and multiculturally aware. 

I predominantly work with addiction, ADHD, domestic abuse, trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, weight issues, low self-esteem, boundary setting, communication, kleptomania, hoarding, and self harm.
