With a focus on the whole individual - psychologically, emotionally, physically, and spiritually - she works from a person-centred stance that treats people as more than a diagnosis and honours their unique life experience. Nina uses person-centred methods alongside elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Cognitive Behavioural approaches, Solution-Focused techniques, and Feminist Therapy to adapt sessions to the needs of each client. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.

Nina has substantial background in the care sector, having worked for over 28 years across settings from elderly care to long-term institutional mental health services, experience she draws on to build practical, trusting therapeutic relationships. She predominantly works with addiction and recovery and also supports people dealing with ADHD and neurodiversity, domestic abuse, trauma and PTSD, depression and anxiety, low self-esteem, kleptomania, hoarding, loss and grief, boundary setting, communication difficulties, and self-harm. LGBT aware, trauma informed, and multiculturally aware, she aims to offer therapy that is responsive and tailored to each person.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non-directive relationship where the therapist provides empathy and unconditional positive regard so a person can explore their feelings and build self-understanding. It is often helpful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship difficulties.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - combines acceptance and change strategies and teaches practical skills for managing overwhelming emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive or self-harming behaviours. It can be particularly useful for emotional regulation and complex stress responses.

Existential Therapy invites exploration of meaning, freedom, and responsibility in a person’s life, helping people face questions about purpose, loss, and identity during times of major change or grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nina works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as the work evolves. Registered professionals often blend approaches to suit the situation rather than applying a single model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone allow face-to-face connection from different locations, while live chat and text-based messaging provide alternative ways to communicate when scheduling, mobility, or comfort make real-time conversation more difficult. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support that fits into everyday life.
