About Nina

Nina Pavitt is a person-centred counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She supports those dealing with life changes, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, eating issues, anger and career questions. Nina also works with people experiencing ADHD, bipolar challenges, compassion fatigue and difficulties around identity and belonging.

She offers a non-judgemental space for adults to talk through what matters most to them.

Background and approach

Her style is warm and collaborative. Nina listens closely and follows the person-centred approach, treating each person as the expert in their own life. She offers empathy and reflection rather than advice, and aims to help people reach greater understanding and acceptance of their experiences.

Nina uses trauma-focused work alongside person-centred counselling when past harm or abuse is part of the picture. That means she pays attention to the effects of traumatic experiences and adapts the pace of sessions to what feels manageable for each person. She aims to help people feel more steady and better able to cope with difficult memories and reactions.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and holds a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling plus a certificate in Trauma Therapy. Nina has six years of practice supporting adults and she also works with an agency assisting young people and adults with mental health needs.

Nina offers sessions to people aged 18 and over who live in the United Kingdom. Sessions can be arranged in formats that suit the individual, and she will suggest other professionals if a different specialist is needed.

How Nina Uses Client-Centred and Trauma-Focused Work Online

Client-centred counselling places the person at the centre of the work and relies on empathy, acceptance and reflective listening. This approach helps people explore feelings, clarify values and make decisions without being told what to do. Trauma-focused therapy pays attention to the ways past harm affects thoughts, body sensations and daily coping. It adapts the pace of work and uses gentle, structured conversation to help people manage memories and reactions.

Nina will work collaboratively to find the best approach for each person. She listens to goals, discusses options and adjusts methods as sessions progress. Finding the right fit is part of the process, and decisions about focus and pace are made together based on needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and use eye contact, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when written reflection helps. These formats make it simpler to access counselling from different locations and to choose the style that suits daily life.
