Nina Pavitt
Person-centred counsellor for adult concerns
About Nina
Nina Pavitt is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem and depression. She supports adults dealing with life changes, addiction, grief, work pressures and issues related to sexual orientation. Nina also works with people coping with ADHD, bipolar symptoms, compassion fatigue and problems around body image or chronic illness.
She practises person-centred counselling, which means she listens without judgement and treats each person as the expert on their own life.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the client and on practical steps they want to try. Her approach aims to build awareness, acceptance and clearer choices. Nina has a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a certificate in Trauma Therapy.
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often abbreviated as BACP. She has around six years of experience working in mental health settings and with an agency supporting young people and adults. In a session she offers empathy, steady support and collaborative problem solving.
She will not tell people what to do but will help them explore options and find what fits. If an issue falls outside her scope, she will try to suggest a more suitable referral. Sessions are available to adults based in the United Kingdom.
Nina speaks English and uses video, phone, live chat or text messaging to meet people where it fits their life.

How Nina uses person-centred and trauma-focused work online
Nina practises client-centred therapy, which focuses on understanding each person from their point of view. The counsellor offers empathic listening, reflection and gentle guidance so people can come to their own insights and choices. This approach helps with self-esteem, life changes and ongoing stress.She also uses trauma-focused therapy when past harms affect day-to-day life. That work looks at how traumatic experiences shape reactions and relationships and helps build safer ways of coping. It can suit people dealing with abuse, overwhelming memories or the after-effects of painful events.
Choosing the right way of working is a shared task. Nina will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt the approach as the work evolves. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to try and when to change direction.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for steady check-ins or if writing feels more natural. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or mobility needs and allow the same therapeutic approaches to be used across different mediums.
