About Pauline
Pauline Cassidy is a BACP-registered counsellor who focuses on client-centred work. She meets people where they are and supports them to find their own solutions for stress, anxiety, relationship strain and trauma-related concerns. Her manner is warm and straightforward, helping people take small, practical steps forward.
She has 14 years of experience working with a wide range of matters, including LGBT issues and family conflict. She also supports people facing gender dysphoria, hoarding, infidelity and jealousy, and those dealing with obsessions, compulsions and OCD. Pauline listens first, then helps clients decide what to try next.
Pauline blends Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Jungian ideas. That mix lets her adapt to the person in front of her - using reflective listening, practical homework and attention to deeper personal themes. Sessions aim to be clear and realistic rather than full of jargon.
Her approach suits people who want to feel heard and also want practical tools to manage anxiety or stressful situations. She works with issues around prejudice and discrimination, self-harm, sexual dysfunction and young adult challenges. She emphasises collaboration and pacing the work to each person.
Pauline accepts international clients and offers sessions in English. To begin, clients follow the site matching process and schedule sessions according to availability.
How Pauline's approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s priorities, offers empathic reflection and helps people find their own solutions. This approach is useful for relationships, stress and identity questions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviours with practical strategies. It commonly uses simple tasks between sessions to build new coping habits and is often helpful for anxiety, obsessions and managing stress.
Jungian Therapy brings attention to personal symbols and inner themes. It can help people explore deeper patterns and meaning, which some find valuable alongside practical work.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The counsellor works collaboratively to decide what feels most useful, adjusting methods as goals and needs become clearer. Clients and therapist review progress together and try different ways of working when needed.
The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins or longer therapy blocks when helpful. It also makes access possible for people living outside the counsellor's local area or in other countries.
