About Naina

Naina Pausker is a counsellor registered as NCPS with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. She speaks English and accepts international clients.

Her approach treats the client as the expert on their own story. Sessions focus on practical steps people can take to manage difficult feelings and keep functioning day to day. Conversations are straightforward and paced to suit the person's comfort with speaking about hard topics.

Naina uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify thought patterns and habits that feed anxiety and low mood. She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep the person’s priorities central to each session. Psychodynamic ideas may be used to look at longer-standing relationship patterns when that feels relevant.

She has worked with concerns that include abandonment, attachment issues, caregiving stress, body image and codependency, as well as life events such as divorce and bereavement. Naina also supports people coping with the effects of disaster or other traumatic disruptions and with mood regulation difficulties such as Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder.

Sessions typically begin by clarifying what is most pressing for the person and setting short-term goals. The aim is to build clearer ways of thinking and coping that make day-to-day social situations and responsibilities easier to handle. Practical strategies and reflective conversation are offered side by side.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's priorities and experience, offering a conversational way to reflect on feelings and choices. It helps when someone wants a respectful space to talk and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact and gives practical steps to test and change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try based on current needs, goals and what feels manageable. That collaborative checking-in continues as therapy progresses so approaches can be adjusted if something is not helpful.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time and allow people to access help from a different location. Some formats are more suited to brief check-ins and others to longer conversations, so practical choices are made with the therapist to match the rhythm of daily life and the focus of the sessions.
