About Nina
Nina Pavitt offers support for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. She helps with addictions, LGBT issues, relationship strain, grief and eating concerns. People also turn to her for anger, career questions, bipolar support and coaching around compassion fatigue and ADHD.
Nina uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client’s experience central. She believes people know their lives best and sits alongside them with empathy and non-judgement.
How Nina works
Sessions focus on listening, helping people make sense of what they are facing, and finding small steps that feel manageable. Her background includes a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a certificate in Trauma Therapy. Nina is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and follows its Ethical Framework.
She has six years of counselling experience and has supported both young people and adults through other agencies. In practical terms she offers one-to-one support to adults based in the United Kingdom. If a particular issue is outside her scope, she aims to suggest an appropriate referral to someone more suited to that need.
Sessions are kept focused on the client’s goals and paced to match what feels right. People can expect straightforward conversation rather than clinical jargon. Nina aims to help clients reach greater understanding, acceptance and clearer next steps.
The approach is calm, collaborative and rooted in respect for each person’s perspective.

Online support options
How Nina’s approaches fit with online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience. The counsellor offers empathy, acceptance and non-judgement, helping people talk through what matters most and discover their next steps. This approach helps with issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns and life transitions.Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing the impact of traumatic experiences. It aims to reduce the hold that painful memories or patterns have on daily life and supports people dealing with anxiety, trauma and related symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nina will discuss goals and preferences with each person and together decide which way of working feels most helpful. That collaborative choice can change over time as needs shift.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be useful when lower bandwidth or not being on camera helps. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins and people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel while keeping continuity of support.
