Naina Pausker, NCPS

Naina Pausker is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She works with those facing life changes and with carers who are under pressure. Naina aims to support people who want to find more balance and confidence in everyday life.

She starts from the view that each person knows their own story. Naina uses that knowledge to build practical ways forward. Sessions focus on identifying strengths, tackling immediate problems, and finding small steps that make a difference. She talks things through in a calm, straightforward way and encourages people to try approaches that suit their life.

Naina draws on several therapeutic styles when helping someone to cope. She uses client-centred methods to listen and reflect what matters to the person. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and test new ways of responding. Psychodynamic ideas help look at patterns that repeat over time.

Her background includes three years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and she holds NCPS. Naina works in English and is open to people in other countries who wish to connect. She asks people to consider what they hope to change and to bring that into the first conversations.

To begin, she encourages a simple first step of describing what feels hardest right now. From there she helps set practical goals and checks in on progress. Naina aims to be a steady, encouraging presence while people try out new ways of coping.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Naina uses client-centred work to follow what matters most to the person and help them talk through current struggles. This approach focuses on listening carefully and reflecting back what the person says, which can make it easier to identify immediate priorities and small changes that feel manageable.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT provides straightforward tools to test unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours, useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Psychodynamic ideas may be used to notice repeated patterns and how past experiences shape present responses.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide what helps most, adapting techniques to the person's goals and daily life. People are encouraged to give feedback so the approach can change over time.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around caring duties, travel and work commitments. It can reduce travel time and help people check in more frequently when that suits their routine.
