Nina Pavitt

Nina Pavitt is a person-centred counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and the strain of life changes. She supports those dealing with trauma, relationship issues, addiction and challenges around self-esteem. Nina also works with concerns such as grief, eating issues, anger and career worries. She is based in the United Kingdom and works with adults aged 18 and over.

Nina uses a person-centred way of working. She listens without judgement and treats each person as the expert in their own life. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the individual and finding helpful ways forward together. She aims to create a calm space where people can reflect and make sense of painful experiences.

Her background includes a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a certificate in Trauma Therapy. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and follows their Ethical Framework. In addition to private work, Nina supports young people and adults through agency-based mental health work.

When a concern falls outside her scope, she will suggest a referral to someone with the right skills. Nina works collaboratively, and practical steps in sessions may include talking through patterns, building coping strategies and exploring emotional responses. The focus is on helping people reach greater understanding, awareness and acceptance.

People who are considering support can expect straightforward, empathic conversation and a gentle pace. Nina offers therapeutic time for reflection, and works with adults across a wide range of issues including attachment, body image, chronic illness, divorce and separation, and ADHD.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Nina uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on the clients perspective. This approach means the therapist listens closely, mirrors what is said and supports clients to find their own answers. It helps with issues like low self-esteem, relationship stress and life transitions.

She also draws on trauma-focused therapy when past events are causing ongoing distress. Trauma-focused work aims to help people understand the impact of traumatic experiences and develop coping strategies to reduce their effect on daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Nina will discuss goals and preferences and work collaboratively to choose what feels most helpful. That might mean mainly person-centred sessions, trauma-focused techniques, or a blend tailored to the issue at hand.

If you are considering online work, check the session formats available before booking as the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it possible to get support from your home area without needing to travel to a clinic. Discuss practical needs and preferences during the initial matching and scheduling steps to ensure sessions fit into daily life.
