Nina is amazing, she’s very supportive and listens and helps with my issues every week. She provides excellent information, videos and documents to help understand issues and offers workbooks to help develop myself

Reviewed September 2024

Outstanding, Nina has helped me in every way possible with myself, my family, environment, external resources and goes above and beyond as a human to ensure she practices therapy to the top standard! I’ve had a range of therapies and therapists throughout the years, however Nina is the only one I have wanted to stay with and continue in my recovery - she is flexible and pragmatic and I cannot emphasise enough the brilliance of BetterHelp and Nina :)

More about Nina

  • 5 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am a qualified counsellor with several years counselling experience. I trained as a humanistic/ existential counsellor.

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.

I am an integrative counsellor, utilising Person-Centred Therapy, and elements of DBT, Transactional Analysis, CBT, Existential Therapy, Solution Focussed Therapy, and Feminist Therapy, which are adapted to each client. I am also LGBT aware, trauma informed and multiculturally aware. This means that you receive therapy tailored for you and your needs.

I predominantly work with addiction and recovery, and have experience working with ADHD and neurodiversity, domestic abuse, trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, kleptomania, hoarding, loss and grief, boundary setting, communication problems, and self-harm.

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.

Taking the first step in seeking therapy can be daunting, and takes courage on your part, so well done in taking that step, I look forward to working with you, and feel privileged to be a part of your journey.

About online counseling

Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Nina has such a nurturing and kind personality which made me feel safe instantly. I was really scared to open up initially, but Nina made me feel so at ease and reminded me that we go at my pace. Thank you for virtually holding my hand but also watching me lead myself.

Nina has been amazing, so easy to talk to and so understanding and non-judgmental. I feel very very comfortable talking to Nina and know I can be very open with her, she makes it a really safe space

Reviewed June 2024

Therapy with Nina has been my first ever positive experience with therapy. She really gets down to the root of what's going on and why I might be feeling this way, and working through that is how you get better. She's incredibly understanding, and it doesn't feel like you're talking to someone who's getting paid to care, it feels like you're talking to someone who genuinely wants to help you and go on that journey with you to improve your quality of life. I'm so glad to have been matched with her, and would really recommend her to anyone.

Absolute gem, human and gets it. Very few hero’s like her left in the industry

Reviewed January 2024

I've had many therapists over the years so was skeptical about what more could be done for me but I like how Nina gives me space to explore things like a real person. I've had a lot of therapy that feels like they are just ticking exercises off a list but Nina lets me move between different areas as needed while helping me to ground myself and giving me exercises that are manageable between our sessions. I'm already feeling an impact and am looking forward to where we go next.

Nina is a consummate professional. She possesses an extraordinary ability to listen—not just hear, but truly listen—with a kind of empathy and understanding that is exceedingly rare. Her years of experience are clearly evident in how she navigates each session, yet she carries none of the haughtiness. She approaches each session with a fresh perspective, never relying on a one-size-fails-all methodology. What stands out most about Nina is her authentic compassion. She has this innate ability to make you feel seen, heard, and valued. She has a wonderful knack for striking a balance between validating your feelings and challenging you to confront uncomfortable truths. I never felt judged; instead, I felt empowered to open up layers of myself I didn’t even know existed. She employs a range of techniques and tools, from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to mindfulness exercises, all of which are tailored to your unique needs and challenges. Her expertise isn't rigid or confined to textbooks; it's flexible, adaptive, and deeply rooted in a holistic understanding of human psychology. I'm very happy that I was matched with Nina and I'm sure that anyone similar to me would too
