About Nina
Nina Pavitt is a person-centred counsellor who works with adults in the United Kingdom. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and other life challenges. Nina is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP, and she combines empathy with practical listening to help people feel heard.
She offers a calm space to talk through difficult experiences and confusing feelings.
Background and approach
Nina believes clients are the experts in their own lives and works alongside them rather than giving instructions. Sessions focus on creating understanding, acceptance and clearer next steps that fit each person’s situation. Nina has a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a certificate in Trauma Therapy.
She uses person-centred ways of working alongside trauma-focused approaches when needed. If a concern falls outside her scope she aims to suggest other professionals who may help. Her background includes work with an agency supporting young people and adults with mental health needs.
She has six years of experience in counselling and brings that experience to one-to-one work with people over 18 who live in the UK. The tone in sessions is collaborative and non-judgemental. Nina will listen, reflect and help people explore choices they can try between meetings.
This practical focus aims to make therapy feel relevant to everyday life.

How Nina’s approaches work for online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre of the work. The therapist listens closely, mirrors what is said and helps the person find their own solutions. This approach can help with low self-esteem, life transitions and everyday stress.Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the impact of past harm and on ways to reduce its hold on daily life. It uses careful, paced conversations to help people understand their reactions and build practical coping strategies for things like anxiety, flashbacks or overwhelm.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Nina will work together with the client to decide which way of working suits their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs evolve.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as these are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when that is useful. It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, use different ways of offering sessions, so checking the available options helps plan what will work best.
