Nina Pavitt , BACP

Nina Pavitt is a person-centred counsellor with a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a certificate in Trauma Therapy. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom, and she practices in line with its ethical framework.

Nina combines a compassionate, non-judgmental stance with practical experience supporting both young people and adults through an agency setting and in private practice. She offers a space to explore worries, past experiences, or life transitions, holding the view that each person is the expert in their own life. In sessions she listens with empathy, works collaboratively, and helps clients move toward greater understanding, awareness, and self-acceptance.

Trained to work with a wide range of issues, Nina supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, addiction, self-esteem and body image concerns, ADHD, and challenges related to life purpose and career. She sees adults aged 18 and over who live in the United Kingdom and, where a different skill set is needed, will offer referrals to suitable practitioners. Nina provides therapy in English and accepts new clients who are based in the UK.

Client-Centred and Trauma-Focused Support Online

Nina works from a client-centred perspective, which emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration. This approach focuses on the client as the expert in their own life and helps people explore feelings, values, and choices in a supportive, non-directive way. It is often helpful for issues such as low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and ongoing stress.

She also draws on trauma-focused therapy techniques to address the impact of traumatic experiences. This approach helps people understand how trauma affects thoughts, emotions, and behaviour, and supports gradual processing and coping skills development for those struggling with trauma-related symptoms or abuse histories.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nina works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to identify which methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts her work as those needs evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - clients can meet by video call or phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging when that fits better with their schedule or comfort level. These options make it easier to access regular support from home or work and to maintain continuity of care even when life circumstances change.
