Nina Pavitt

Nina Pavitt is a person-centred counsellor who supports people facing eating and food-related issues as well as stress, anxiety and trauma. She works with adults aged 18 and over in the United Kingdom. Nina offers a calm space to talk through painful experiences and day-to-day worries without judgement.

She believes the client is the expert on their own life and aims to listen with empathy. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the person and on finding their own way forward. The counsellor stays alongside clients rather than directing them, so changes come from the person's own insight.

Nina holds a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a certificate in Trauma Therapy. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, or BACP, and follows their Ethical Framework. Her background includes supporting young people and adults through an agency setting as well as in other roles.

In practical terms, sessions give people time to reflect on relationships, body image, coping with life changes and patterns that cause distress. Nina can help people work through grief, difficulties with self-esteem, addiction-related concerns and issues connected to identity and sexuality. If a concern falls outside her skills, she will try to suggest an appropriate referral.

People who choose her can expect a respectful, non-judgemental approach that values their perspective. She aims to help clients reach greater awareness, acceptance and clearer next steps for living.

How client-centred and trauma-focused work can fit online

Nina uses person-centred (client-centred) work which means the counsellor listens deeply and follows the person's lead. This approach suits people who need time to make sense of emotions, relationships and choices without pressure.

She also draws on trauma-focused methods that help people name and process distressing experiences. This can be useful for those coping with past abuse, sudden loss or ongoing trauma-related stress, offering a structured way to address difficult memories and reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Nina will work together with each person to decide which way of working feels most helpful. That choice considers the client's goals, what they find manageable and how quickly they want to progress.

Practical benefits of online working include fitting sessions around busy days, reducing travel time and sometimes making it easier to have a regular check-in. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. The focus is on making therapy fit into everyday life so work, family and other commitments can be balanced with regular sessions.
