About Nina
Nina Pavitt is a BACP-registered counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem and depression. She supports adults through life changes, grief, relationship strain, addictions and concerns such as body image, ADHD and career uncertainty. Sessions are offered to people aged 18 and over who live in the United Kingdom.
Nina uses a person-centred way of working. She listens without judgement and treats the client as the expert in their own life.
Background and approach
Together they look at what feels difficult and what a better future might be like. The approach is collaborative and paced to each person's needs. She also draws on trauma-focused work to help people who have been affected by abuse or distressing events.
That work aims to reduce the hold of difficult memories and to build skills for coping with triggers and flashbacks. Nina will discuss different options and choose what feels workable with the person she is seeing. Nina has a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a certificate in Trauma Therapy.
She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which she follows for professional standards. She has six years' experience supporting people in the UK through a mix of agency and one-to-one work. People who come to her can expect calm, patient listening and practical steps to help day-to-day life.
If a concern falls outside her expertise she will try to suggest other services or a suitable referral. Appointments are suited to adults who want steady, compassionate support.

Approaches Nina lists

Online support
Trauma-Focused Therapy looks directly at the effects of distressing events. It uses structured steps to reduce the power of painful memories and to build coping tools for triggers and flashbacks. This work is aimed at people who notice ongoing symptoms after upsetting experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Nina will talk with each person about their concerns, goals and preferences and choose techniques together. The decision is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be used for shorter check-ins, and live chat or text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need more frequent brief contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or health limitations and to keep regular appointments without travel.
