About Naina

Naina Pausker is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression, and helps people cope with life changes. She supports young adults facing the pressures of leaving home, study, first jobs and relationship shifts.

Her approach is conversational and people-focused. She centres the client's own perspective and uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) features in sessions when practical steps and thought patterns are useful to manage mood or anxiety. Psychodynamic ideas may be drawn on to look at deeper patterns that affect current choices.

In a typical meeting she listens to the situation, offers observations, and suggests manageable tasks or ways of thinking to try between sessions. Conversations aim to be straightforward and practical rather than technical. Sessions can address everyday pressures such as work stress, uncertainty after university, and relationship doubts.

Naina works with people who have experienced attachment or abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care histories, caregiving stress, body image worries, and difficulties with communication or control. She also supports those dealing with bereavement, separation, dissociation and mood disturbances.

She accepts international clients and offers sessions in English. Costs vary by location and are delivered via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the online matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Naina draws on Client-Centred Therapy to place the client's experience at the heart of sessions. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting what matters, and letting the person's own goals lead the work. It can help when someone needs to clarify priorities or feel heard in a new phase of life.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and try concrete changes. CBT is practical and task-oriented, often useful for managing anxiety, low mood and day-to-day stressors. Psychodynamic ideas are used to consider how past relationships or patterns influence present decisions and feelings, which can be helpful for recurring relationship or attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to select methods that match a client's needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change as work progresses and as different challenges arise.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into study timetables, work breaks or busy weeks, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. These practical benefits often help people maintain consistency while managing everyday responsibilities.
