About Nina
Nina Pavitt is a BACP-registered person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She works with adults over 18 and helps with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems, and coping with life changes. Nina also supports people dealing with trauma, addictions, grief, self-esteem and identity issues.
Her approach is grounded in person-centred practice. She treats the client as the expert in their own life and collaborates with them rather than directing decisions. Conversations are offered with respect, without judgement, and with steady listening to help people make sense of difficult feelings.
Nina also uses trauma-focused methods when addressing the lasting effects of abuse or painful experiences. This work focuses on understanding how past events shape current reactions and on practical ways to reduce distress over time.
She has a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a certificate in Trauma Therapy, and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Nina also carries out work with an agency supporting young people and adults with mental health concerns.
Sessions are offered to adults who live in the UK. If a concern falls outside her scope, she aims to suggest or refer to someone with appropriate skills. To start, clients follow an online matching and booking process to arrange a first appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It involves open listening, reflecting what the client says, and helping them find their own direction. This approach suits people who want a collaborative, non-directive way to talk through relationship and family stresses.Trauma-Focused Therapy looks directly at the effects of past painful events. It aims to reduce the ongoing impact of trauma by helping clients understand triggers and develop coping strategies. This can help with symptoms that follow abuse, sudden loss, or long-term distress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss the client's goals, needs and preferences and suggest what to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so check the current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around family life, work and appointments. Practical benefits include shorter check-ins on busy days, fewer travel arrangements and the ability to match appointment times to everyday routines. Registered or accredited professionals can help set a rhythm that fits day-to-day life without promising specific session types.
