Hi, I'm Nina a qualified and experienced Integrated counsellor with 8 years of professional work experience with teenagers and adults. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, depression, motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.
I have learnt the importance of recognising the power of our emotions and feelings, and that we should own them and value them rather than hide and push them away. by using these signals as messages to move positively forward in our lives we can reach our full potential and become the person we intend to be. Having worked for many years as a beauty and complimentary therapist, with a wide range of clients, I came to realise that true health and wellbeing and feeling good about ourselves lies within. If we can create strong emotional foundations, we have a good base to build our life's to help us move forward.
Taking that first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process and look forward to working with you to reach your goals.

This was the first time that I did therapy. I had considered it in the past and wasn’t sure how it could help, and what sort of advice I would get and whether it would be useful. However, Nina was able to just sit and listen to me ramble on about my thoughts and issues and tell me what I wanted to hear. She was considerate and was able to supply me with resources that helped me release more about myself.

Nina is a godsend.
She is encouraging, empathetic and personable.
BetterHelp hit the nail on the head matching us, and I am so grateful for her help the past year! Couldn’t recommend enough

Nina has been so helpful in a time when I've needed a lot of support, she has held space for me in such a kind, gentle and loving way. This has really helped me to build trust with her and with myself, it's been such a gift to be able to express some really deep and difficult things without feeling judged or shamed and to really be celebrated for the break throughs and changes that I've been making. Nina is a great cheer leader! And having her voice as my inner cheerleader is really soothing for my soul :) Thank you so much for your support Nina :)

Nina has been an extraordinary therapist over these past months. From the very first session, I felt genuinely heard and understood. I was welcomed in a safe and nonjudgmental space, which allowed me to open up easily. She's helped me understand and act on my social anxiety, inner child needs, relationship challenges, perfectionism, self-worth, values, routines, and boundary management. I was able to accept my ADHD symptoms and continue to unmask in a sustainable way. Her professional, goal-focused approach has been incredibly effective in helping me gain confidence and keep going. I feel empowered and can't express enough gratitude towards her. I will want to be re-matched with her in case I need support in the future.
