Naina Pausker

Naina Pausker is a counsellor registered with the NCPS and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. Her practice also includes support around abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, and relationship communication problems.

Naina offers straightforward, conversational sessions that focus on what matters now. She listens to people’s concerns, helps them sort through difficult feelings, and uses practical steps to test new ways of coping. Sessions aim to break large problems into small, manageable tasks that can be practised between meetings.

Her approach draws on client-centred methods to follow the person's priorities, cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours, and psychodynamic ideas that look at patterns formed over time. These methods are used to help with everyday struggles such as low motivation, body image worries, caregiver stress, and coping after separation.

Naina accepts clients from the UK and internationally and meets people in a conversational style rather than a formal lecture. She invites clients to identify what they want to work on and to set realistic short-term goals. This can help people who feel stuck after a change or who are uncertain what comes next.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what the client says matters most. In an online session this means the counsellor reflects concerns clearly and helps the client set priorities for work between meetings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches people to notice thought patterns and try small behavioural experiments. Online meetings can be used to agree simple exercises and review progress each week. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and emotional responses that have built up over time, helping people see links between past experiences and present choices.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will decide whether to focus more on practical CBT tasks, deeper psychodynamic reflection, or a client-centred approach that follows immediate concerns.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow for a shorter check-in when time is limited, or remove the need to travel. Registered or accredited professionals can use online meetings to keep continuity of care when life circumstances make in-person sessions difficult.
