About Nina
Nina Pavitt is a BACP-registered person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of practice. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, anger and relationship concerns. Nina also supports people facing life changes, grief, addictions, and career questions.
Nina uses a person-centred approach that treats the client as the expert in their life. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and working together to understand what is happening and what matters most to the client. She aims to help people reach clearer awareness and acceptance of their situation.
Her background includes a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a certificate in Trauma Therapy. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and follows their Ethical Framework. In addition to private work, she has experience supporting young people and adults through an agency setting.
In practical terms sessions are collaborative. Nina will not direct clients on what to do; instead she explores options with them and discusses next steps if further specialist support would be helpful. She works with adults aged 18 and over who live in the UK.
People often come to Nina wanting to manage temper, reduce irritability, or understand patterns that lead to snapping at others. Her emphasis is on clear conversation and steady support so clients can try out new ways of responding and coping.
How sessions work
How her approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. The counsellor treats the client as the expert in their life and uses reflective listening to help clarify feelings and choices. This approach can help with anger that comes from frustration, relationship strain, or low self-esteem.Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of traumatic or distressing experiences. It centres on helping people understand how past events influence current reactions and on building strategies to reduce reactivity and distress. This work can be useful when anger is linked to trauma or abuse.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what matters most, then agree on the methods to try. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs evolve.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, keep sessions shorter when needed, or reduce travel time. It also allows a steady course of work with a registered professional while you balance other commitments.
