Naina PauskerNCPS

Naina Pausker is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She supports people facing life changes and those working to rebuild motivation and confidence. Naina approaches each conversation with respect for the person's own experience and strengths.

She sees clients as experts in their own story and focuses on practical, steady steps. Sessions are collaborative and aim to help people notice what already works for them. Naina encourages small, achievable changes rather than quick fixes.

Her practice draws on client-centred therapy, which concentrates on the person's perspective and priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and psychodynamic ideas to explore patterns that repeat across relationships and life events.

With three years of professional experience and the NCPS credential, Naina brings a calm and reassuring presence to sessions. Her approach is warm and straightforward, with an emphasis on listening first and planning next.

People often come to her when they feel stuck after loss, when anxiety becomes overwhelming, or when life shifts make old strategies feel inadequate. Naina works at a pace set by the client, helping them find practical ways to feel steadier and more able to cope. She welcomes conversations in English and accepts international clients.

Approaches that guide online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s perspective and priorities. It involves active listening, reflecting back what the person says, and helping them decide what changes matter most. This approach works well for people who want space to sort out their feelings and goals.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It uses practical exercises to identify unhelpful thinking and test new ways of responding, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress. Psychodynamic ideas pay attention to repeating patterns and how past experiences shape present reactions, offering more time to understand why certain responses keep occurring.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals, try methods that fit the person’s needs, and adjust the plan as therapy progresses. That decision is made together, based on what feels most useful.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Confirming formats helps you pick options that fit everyday life. Online work can save travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to fit sessions around work or caring responsibilities.
