About Nina
Nina Pavitt is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years' practice. She works with people on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and depression, and a wide range of related concerns including addiction, relationship and family matters. Sessions are for people aged 18 and over who are living in the UK.
Nina uses a person-centred, or client-centred, way of working. She treats the person in front of her as the expert in their own life and listens without judgement. Conversations are collaborative and paced to what the client needs in the session.
Her training includes a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a certificate in Trauma Therapy, and she is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She also works with an agency supporting young people and adults with mental health concerns alongside her private practice work.
In practical terms sessions are for talking through experiences, noticing patterns and considering changes a person might want. Nina aims to help people reach more understanding and acceptance of what they are facing. If an issue falls outside her scope she will try to suggest someone with the right skills.
Nina is comfortable addressing a wide range of issues listed in her profile including ADHD, grief, eating concerns, body image and communication problems. People can expect a straightforward, listening-led approach that focuses on their priorities.
To begin, clients based in the UK choose an online therapy option and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. The counsellor works with adults only and sessions reflect the person-centred and trauma-focused approaches she uses.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and following what the client brings to the session. It involves open conversation and reflective listening to help someone make sense of what they are experiencing and consider next steps. This approach suits people wanting a collaborative, non-directive way to talk about anxiety, relationships or life changes.Trauma-Focused Therapy centres on working through the effects of distressing experiences in a paced way. It aims to help people manage difficult memories and reactions so daily life becomes easier to cope with. This method can be useful for people who say trauma or past abuse affects their mood, relationships or sense of safety.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nina will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods fit best. That collaborative decision can change as therapy progresses and different tools can be introduced when helpful.
Practical benefits of online sessions include easier fitting of appointments around work and day-to-day life, and the option to choose formats that suit the person’s needs. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions reduce travel time, allow quicker check-ins and make it simpler to keep therapy consistent alongside other commitments.
