Naina Pausker, NCPS

Naina Pausker is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She supports those coping with life changes and moments of uncertainty. Naina works with people who want practical ways to feel steadier and more confident.

She believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to therapy. Sessions focus on identifying those strengths and building small, achievable steps. Conversations are collaborative and paced to suit the person’s needs.

Her work draws on client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural tools to address unhelpful thinking, and psychodynamic ideas about past patterns that shape present feelings. Naina uses these approaches to help people make sense of recurring difficulties and try new behaviours.

Naina holds the NCPS credential and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can name what matters and try practical changes.

People often come to her feeling stuck after a loss, a big life change, or when everyday stress becomes overwhelming. Naina supports them to notice what is working, practise new skills, and move towards clearer priorities and better daily routines.

How these approaches work in online counselling

Naina uses client-centred listening to follow what matters most to each person. This approach means the counsellor reflects back what is said, helps clarify priorities and supports the person to set their own goals. It is useful when someone needs space to be heard and to find their next steps.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. It often involves simple practical exercises between sessions and can help with anxiety, low mood and everyday stress.

Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns that repeat over time and where they might come from. This can help people understand why certain situations feel familiar and choose different responses in their daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Naina will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. She will review what helps and adapt the plan as progress is made.

The therapist’s profile does not list specific session formats. Please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from a familiar setting. They also permit shorter appointments or phone conversations when that suits the person better.
