Nina Pavitt

Nina Pavitt is a person-centred counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem and loneliness. She works with adults on issues such as depression, relationship and family concerns, addiction, grief and coping with life changes. Nina aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can be heard and begin to make sense of what they are experiencing.

Nina trained with a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and holds a certificate in Trauma Therapy. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her background includes work with an agency supporting young people and adults with mental health needs.

In session she follows a person-centred way of working, which means she listens closely and follows each person’s priorities. She offers empathy and practical support rather than telling people what to do. When trauma is part of the picture she draws on trauma-focused approaches to help people process difficult experiences safely.

People can expect collaborative work that aims to build understanding, self-compassion and clearer choices. Nina supports anyone aged 18 or over based in the United Kingdom. If she cannot meet a person’s needs she will aim to suggest someone with the right expertise.

Her practice is straightforward and paced to the individual. Conversations focus on what matters now and on small steps that can make daily life feel more manageable.

How her approaches work online and in practice

Nina works from a person-centred point of view which focuses on listening, acceptance and following the client’s priorities. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through stress, low mood, relationship worries or questions about life direction. It aims to build self-understanding and clearer choices.

She also uses trauma-focused methods when past events are affecting day-to-day life. Those methods help people gradually make sense of difficult memories and reduce the ways trauma shapes feelings and reactions. Trauma-focused work is paced to each person and combined with supportive listening.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nina will discuss options with each person and decide together what feels most helpful based on needs, goals and preferences. The choice of methods can change as progress is made and new priorities appear.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and fewer travel demands. For clarity, the biography does not list the session formats offered, so check the available options before booking. Working remotely can make it simpler to continue regular sessions between other commitments and to focus on steady, small steps toward feeling better.
