Nina Pavitt , BACP

Nina Pavitt is a person-centred counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. She supports those dealing with addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, eating issues, anger, career questions and ADHD. Nina works with people on body image, attachment and the emotional fallout of chronic illness or disability.

Sessions are simple and straightforward. Nina listens without judgement and focuses on the person in front of her. She does not give orders or set rigid rules. Instead she offers empathy and works collaboratively to help people make sense of their experience.

Her practice uses a trauma-focused lens when past harm affects day-to-day life. That approach helps when memories, flashbacks or ongoing effects of abuse interfere with wellbeing. It is used alongside a person-centred way of working to keep the client’s own goals at the centre of each session.

Nina has a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a certificate in Trauma Therapy. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP. She has six years of experience supporting adults in the United Kingdom.

When a concern falls outside her range, she will aim to suggest someone with the right skills. People over 18 who live in the UK can work with her using online sessions by phone, video, live chat or text-based messaging. The process begins by completing a short matching questionnaire and booking a time that fits the client’s schedule.

How Nina’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience. The therapist listens carefully, shows empathy and helps the client clarify their goals. This approach is useful for low mood, self-esteem issues and life transitions because it supports the person to find their own direction.

Trauma-Focused Therapy looks directly at the impact of past harm on current life. It helps people understand how traumatic events shape thoughts, feelings and reactions, and works to reduce ongoing distress from those memories. This can help when trauma affects daily functioning or relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nina will talk with clients about what feels most useful and adjust methods to match their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process so the person remains central to planning the work.

Online sessions make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat suits faster check-ins and text-based messaging can work for shorter, ongoing support. These options offer flexibility for people who need different rhythms and formats.
