About Nina
Nina Pavitt is a person-centred counsellor with a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a certificate in Trauma Therapy. She has six years' experience and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Nina supports adults based in the UK with concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and life changes.
She works in a collaborative way and treats the person in front of her as the expert in their own life. Conversations focus on what is troubling the client now and what they want to change. Nina does not give directives; she listens, reflects and helps people clarify their own choices.
Nina also has experience supporting people with addictions, eating and anger issues, bipolar difficulties, ADHD and compassion fatigue. She offers help around relationship problems, family difficulties, grief and issues linked to identity and LGBT concerns. Practical topics such as career concerns, commitment and communication problems are part of her work too.
Her trauma work is informed by a certificate in Trauma Therapy and she says she will refer on when a different skill set is needed. Nina supports adults over 18 who live in the UK and works with people coming through agency referrals as well as private clients.
Sessions aim to build understanding, awareness and acceptance. Conversations tend to be straightforward and paced to fit what the client can manage. People considering counselling are invited to complete the matching questionnaire and arrange a first session to see how the approach fits them.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and reflection. In practice this means the counsellor follows the client's lead, mirrors what is said and supports people to find their own answers. It can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship worries and life transitions.Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on addressing the impact of traumatic or distressing experiences. This approach works on understanding how past events affect current feelings and responses, and supports people to develop new ways of coping with those effects.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Nina will help clients and the counsellor together to identify which methods feel most helpful for their goals and circumstances. That choice can change as work progresses and new priorities emerge.
The practicalities of online sessions should be confirmed before booking because specific formats are not listed in her profile. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around study, work or travel, reduce time spent travelling and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Check the session options on the booking page to see how they would fit into everyday life.
