BACKGROUND
I am a trainee psychotherapist at Birkbeck, University of London. I work with a diverse population of people in person or online. My experience is in body focused repetitive behaviours (BFRBs) such as compulsive skin picking, hair pulling and nail biting. I also work with people who are experiencing anxiety, depression and other related issues such as grief, loss and panic as well as trauma and self esteem issues.
I work to create a safe space in a non-judgmental, protected environment to allow people to express themselves. I am passionate and dedicated towards advocating for those with mental health issues. Pavitt is dedicated to ongoing advocacy and education within the community for OCD, BFRBs, anxiety, depression and general mental health issues.
After working for over a decade in the Royal Courts of Justice and The Supreme Court, I completed a MSc in Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire. I have completed the TLC Foundation’s Professional Training on the comprehensive behavioural model designed to treat those with BFRBs. I am currently working towards BACP and BPC registration.
I am a co-founder of BFRB UK and Ireland. I work to raise awareness and provide help and resources to those affected by BFRBs and other mental health issues.
