Nina Pavitt , BACP

Nina Pavitt is a person-centred counsellor who supports adults in the UK with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps people facing life changes, grief, eating and anger difficulties, and those managing bipolar or ADHD. Nina works with a wide range of concerns including addiction, relationship and family issues, career worries and compassion fatigue.

Nina practises in a collaborative, non-judgemental way. Person-centred counselling means she follows the person’s lead and offers empathy and acceptance rather than giving instructions. She holds a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a certificate in Trauma Therapy, and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

In sessions Nina aims to create a steady, listening space where people can talk through what matters most to them. When working with traumatic experiences she applies trauma-focused methods to help process and make sense of distressing events. The overall aim is to help clients reach greater understanding, awareness and acceptance.

Nina has around six years of experience and combines support for everyday struggles with focused work for more complex issues. If a concern falls outside her scope she will try to suggest someone more suitable.

She offers counselling to adults aged 18 and over who are based in the United Kingdom. Sessions are conducted in English and follow ethical standards set by the BACP.

Person-centred and trauma-focused support online

Nina offers two main approaches in her work. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The counsellor follows the client's lead, offers empathy and supports self-directed change for issues like low self-esteem, anxiety and life transitions.

Trauma-focused therapy helps people make sense of distressing or traumatic events. This approach involves working carefully to reduce the hold of painful memories and to build more helpful ways of relating to those experiences.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Nina will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and help decide which method or combination feels most useful. That choice is made together and can change as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session options before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around everyday life, for example by avoiding travel, fitting a session into a lunch break or choosing a shorter check-in when days are busy. It can also help maintain continuity of care when routines change. Confirm the available formats and schedule when you select the therapist so you can plan sessions that suit your situation.
