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.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Nina Durtnall. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
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.

I really enjoy talking with Nina so far, she has been quite helpful and provided very helpful and actionable ways to combat anxiety. She is just a wonderful person to talk to like chatting with a friend but with expertise. It's amazing that I got matched up with her.
