About Naina

Naina Pausker is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. Naina describes clients as the experts on their own stories and focuses on helping them use their strengths to face difficult moments.

Sessions focus on clear, practical steps alongside time to talk about what matters. She listens to what feels most urgent and helps people try out different ways of managing distress. Conversations cover everyday problems such as motivation, confidence and the fallout of separation or loss.

Naina draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep the work grounded in the client’s experience. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot patterns of thinking and try small, manageable changes. Psychodynamic ideas are used when looking at how past relationships influence current behaviour.

The emphasis is on making things manageable now rather than on labels. Naina offers straightforward guidance about setting small goals and noticing progress. She encourages practical coping strategies for stress, anxiety and low mood.

People who have concerns around attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, body image or codependency will find these topics within her focus areas. She also supports clients dealing with dissociation, control and dependent personality patterns. Work can include talking through recent events such as divorce or dealing with bereavement.

Sessions are conducted in English and Naina accepts international clients. Before booking, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to begin.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the centre of each session, with the counsellor listening and reflecting so people can make sense of their feelings. This works well when someone needs space to talk through grief, low self-esteem or relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy targets specific thoughts and behaviours and turns them into short experiments to try between sessions, which can help with anxiety, mood and coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and decide together which ideas to try first. That makes sessions collaborative and practical, with regular check-ins to see what helps and what to change.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or reducing the need to be on camera when that helps. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists using these approaches often adapt techniques for a remote setting so people can practise skills at home and review them in the next session.
