Nina Pavitt , BACP

Nina Pavitt is a person-centred counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and life changes. She works with clients facing depression, addictions, relationship strain, grief, eating concerns, anger, career questions and ADHD. Nina also helps people with issues around attachment, body image, chronic pain or illness, and a sense of emptiness.

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She believes the person in front of her knows their life best and offers empathy and non-judgemental listening. Sessions are a place to talk through worries, painful experiences and confusing feelings at a pace that suits the client.

Nina trained with a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and holds a certificate in Trauma Therapy. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shown as BACP, and follows its Ethical Framework.

In sessions she aims to help people build understanding, awareness and acceptance about their situation. If an issue is outside her scope, she will try to suggest someone with matching skills who can help further.

She has six years' experience working with both young people and adults through an agency and in other settings. Nina offers counselling to adults aged 18 and over who are based in the United Kingdom.

How Nina’s approaches translate to online counselling

Nina uses person-centred principles and trauma-focused work to guide her online practice. Person-centred counselling means she focuses on listening carefully, reflecting what she hears, and helping people make sense of their own choices and feelings. This approach is useful for people looking to improve self-esteem, cope with life changes, or work through relationship and career concerns.

Trauma-focused work concentrates on understanding how past events affect current life and feelings. In practice this looks like gentle paced conversations, grounding techniques and helping people notice patterns that keep distress going. This can help with anxiety, trauma reactions, grief and difficulties that follow painful experiences.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Nina will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which style or mix of approaches fits best. The therapist treats the choice as a shared decision and will adjust as things change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when that suits a day at work. Registered or accredited professionals can offer effective support through remote sessions when matched to the person’s needs.
