About Nina
Nina Pavitt offers help for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and many related concerns. She supports people dealing with self-esteem, relationship and family issues, grief, addictions, eating difficulties, anger, ADHD and career questions. Nina also helps with attachment issues, body image, chronic illness and pain, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Nina introduces herself as a person-centred counsellor who works alongside clients rather than directing them. She holds a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a certificate in Trauma Therapy, and she is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Background and approach
That membership means she follows the BACP Ethical Framework. In sessions she aims to offer consistent empathy and non-judgemental listening. Conversations focus on what matters to the individual, and the pace is set by the client.
The aim is practical understanding, greater self-awareness and clearer choices about next steps. Nina has six years of counselling experience and also works with an agency supporting young people and adults with mental health concerns. She is able to work with anyone aged over 18 who is living in the United Kingdom.
If a person’s needs fall outside her scope she will try to suggest someone with the right skills. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location and therapist availability.

How Nina works online
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the impacts of traumatic experiences and patterns that follow them. It helps people understand how past harm affects thoughts, feelings and behaviour, and works towards reducing distress and building more manageable coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and will suggest which way of working might help most. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as therapy progresses.
Specific session formats are not listed here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help people take part from different locations or when arranging appointments around work and care commitments. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists offer online support that aims to be practical and focused on everyday improvements.
