Nina Pavitt , BACP

Nina Pavitt is a person-centred counsellor who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem and major life changes. She supports people with depression, addictions, bereavement and relationship or family concerns. Nina also offers help around eating issues, anger, career difficulties, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Nina holds BACP membership, which she follows in her practice.

Nina offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through what is worrying you. She believes people are the experts in their own lives and works alongside them rather than telling them what to do. Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit each person’s needs, with empathy and steady listening at the centre of the work.

Her approach draws on person-centred principles and trauma-focused methods when needed. This means conversations focus on the person’s experience and on understanding the impact of difficult events. Nina aims to help people build awareness, acceptance and clearer next steps during and between sessions.

She has six years of experience and works with adults based in the United Kingdom. If an issue falls outside her remit she will try to suggest another professional who may be a better fit. Nina also has experience supporting young people and adults through agency work, which complements her private practice.

Sessions are offered across video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging, allowing flexible ways to connect. People usually start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions to suit their timetable.

How Nina's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, offers empathy and follows the client’s pace to help them find their own solutions. This approach suits people looking for a supportive space to understand feelings and make changes.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the impact of distressing events and on practical ways to reduce their hold. Work usually involves careful conversation about experiences and building tools to manage reactions. It can help when symptoms from past events interfere with day-to-day life.

Deciding on the best approach is a collaborative process. Nina will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. She adjusts the plan as the work progresses so the approach remains useful and manageable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help people access therapy from different locations and schedules, and make it simpler to keep continuity between sessions.
