About Nina

Nina Pavitt is a person-centred counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. She also supports people facing addiction, grief, relationship and family troubles, eating concerns, anger and work-related strain. Nina works with adults in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.

Nina uses a person-centred style that centres on listening and empathy. She believes clients are the experts in their own lives and offers a non-judgemental, collaborative space to talk through difficult experiences.

Background and approach

The aim is to build understanding and self-awareness rather than to push quick solutions. Her background includes a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a certificate in Trauma Therapy. Nina is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, commonly referred to as BACP, and she follows their Ethical Framework.

She has six years' experience working with adults and young people through an agency and in other settings. In sessions she focuses on practical conversation and reflection. That might involve looking at patterns in relationships, exploring how past hurts affect present choices, or trying different ways to cope with stress and overwhelming feelings.

If a concern falls outside her scope she will suggest an appropriate referral. Nina offers a calm, steady presence and aims to help people reach greater acceptance and clarity. Sessions are intended to be paced around the client, letting them set the topics and the speed of change.

How Nina's Approaches Work Online

Nina uses person-centred counselling to create a space where the client leads the conversation and is treated as the expert in their life. This approach helps with low self-worth, life changes, isolation and ongoing stress by focusing on empathy and acceptance.

She also draws on trauma-focused techniques when past events continue to cause distress. Those methods help people understand the impact of trauma and gently work through painful memories and reactions in a step-by-step way.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Nina will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that might fit best. Together you will review what helps and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions can take place via video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility. Video calls let you see facial expressions and build a familiar rapport. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break or a short gap in the day. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, for people who prefer not to be on camera, or for keeping a running dialogue between longer sessions.

These options make it easier to keep continuity of care while balancing work, family and travel commitments, and they let you pick the format that best suits how you like to talk.
