Background and approach

Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to what feels manageable. Before training as a counsellor, Nina spent over 28 years working in the care sector. That background includes elderly care and longer-term mental health settings.

Those roles gave her extensive experience with practical care needs and building steady working relationships. In practice Nina supports people with a broad range of concerns. These include depression, eating and sleeping problems, anger, relationship and intimacy worries, parenting stresses, career uncertainty, ADHD and bipolar-related issues.

She also works with issues such as hoarding, substance use and domestic violence responses. Her approach is flexible rather than one-size-fits-all. Nina listens for what matters most to the person and adapts methods to match goals.

She aims to help people find ways to live with, manage or move beyond the difficulties they bring. Nina holds BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She offers sessions in English from the United Kingdom and uses online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Nina works from a Client-Centred foundation which centres the person and their own goals. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and building on a person’s strengths to help them manage anxiety, low self-esteem and life changes.

She also uses Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, often shortened to DBT, which offers practical skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive or self-harming behaviour. DBT techniques can help with anger, addictions and coping in stressful moments. Existential therapy is another influence and helps people make sense of difficult life changes and find personal meaning when facing grief or transitions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Nina will discuss options and tailor methods to fit each person’s needs, goals and preferences. She aims to make decisions together so the plan feels workable and relevant.

Online therapy can be flexible and easy to fit around life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats help people access therapy without travel and make it easier to schedule regular contact with a therapist.
