Nina Pavitt , BACP

Nina Pavitt is a qualified person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom who combines formal training with practical experience to support adults seeking help. She holds a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a certificate in Trauma Therapy, and she is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) - the main UK professional body for counsellors that promotes ethical practice and professional standards.

Alongside her private practice, Nina works with an agency to provide mental health support to both young people and adults. Her approach to counselling is rooted in person-centred principles, which recognise the client as the expert in their own life while offering empathy, non-judgemental presence, and collaborative support. In sessions she focuses on creating a respectful space where clients can explore experiences, feelings, and life events at a pace that feels right for them.

Nina is trained to work with people facing a variety of issues and aims to help clients develop greater awareness, understanding, and self-acceptance. She offers therapy to anyone aged 18 or older who is living in the UK, and if a client’s needs fall outside her scope she will try to refer them to a practitioner with the appropriate expertise.

Online approaches for trauma and person-centred care

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and respecting the client’s perspective. It encourages personal exploration and supports people in finding their own solutions, making it useful for feelings of low self-worth, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of traumatic experiences through structured techniques and sensitive pacing. This approach is designed to help people process difficult memories and reduce the ongoing impact of trauma and abuse on daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Nina works collaboratively with each person to identify what will best meet their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will try different ways of working and adapt the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow people to access support from home or elsewhere. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during changes, and reach licensed professionals and therapists without travel.
