About Nina
Person-centred counsellor, BACP member, with six years' experience supporting adults in the United Kingdom. Nina Pavitt works with issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship and family concerns, and identity matters including LGBT topics. She supports people over 18 and follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy Ethical Framework.
Nina describes counselling as a place to talk through what is worrying someone. She views the person as the expert in their life and offers a listening, non-judgemental presence while people make sense of their situation. Her background includes a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a certificate in Trauma Therapy, and she also works with an agency supporting young people and adults.
Her primary ways of working are client-centred methods and trauma-focused therapy. In practice this means she prioritises the person's perspective, reflects what she hears, and uses trauma-informed steps where past harm is a focus. Sessions aim to produce clearer understanding, awareness and acceptance rather than to dictate actions.
People can bring a wide range of concerns, from grief and body image to work stress and compulsive behaviour. When an issue falls outside her scope she seeks to refer on to someone with the right skills. All clients must be aged 18 or over and based in the UK.
Sessions are described as collaborative and conversational. Nina uses her counselling qualifications and trauma work to guide discussions, help identify practical coping steps, and support longer-term reflection on patterns and choices.

How Nina uses client-centred and trauma-focused methods online
Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens, reflects and helps the person make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach suits issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship questions and life transitions.Trauma-focused therapy addresses the effects of past harm and distress. It involves careful pacing, attention to safety and techniques that help a person process upsetting memories or reactions. This method is used when trauma or abuse is a core concern and aims to reduce the intensity of traumatic responses over time.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Nina will work with the client to identify goals, try methods that fit the concern, and adjust the plan based on how the work progresses. The choice of techniques is guided by the person's needs, preferences and the presenting issue.
Confirm current session options before booking as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone use audio-only contact if camera use is difficult, or choose a timing that suits work or family commitments.
