About Pauline
Pauline Cassidy is a counsellor with 14 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationship issues and family difficulties. Pauline believes clients are the experts in their own lives and aims to support them as they make changes.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She listens first and helps people name what matters most to them. Then she uses practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy alongside client-centred listening to help people try different ways of coping.
Pauline also draws on Jungian ideas to look at patterns, personal meaning and life themes when that feels useful. She will discuss different ways of working so a person can pick what fits their goals. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings as well as on what comes up in conversation.
The counsellor has particular experience with trauma and abuse, and with matters such as gender dysphoria, hoarding, infidelity, jealousy and obsessive-compulsive patterns. She also supports people navigating prejudice, personality difficulties, sexual dysfunction and issues common to young adults.
Pauline explains the process clearly and keeps things practical. She emphasises small, achievable steps and works at the client’s pace. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the available times.
How Pauline’s approaches translate to online counselling
Pauline works from client-centred ideas and uses cognitive behavioural therapy and Jungian perspectives when helpful. Client-centred work means the conversation starts with what the person wants to focus on and the counsellor follows that lead to build trust and clarity. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises that people can try between sessions to manage anxiety or stress.Jungian ideas are used to notice recurring patterns, symbols and life themes that can help make sense of difficult experiences. Pauline aims to explain these ideas plainly and to use them only when they meet a person’s needs. Choosing the right combination of approaches is part of the work and she will collaborate with each person to find what fits their goals and preferences.
Please confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit conversations into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a person’s schedule. It also lets people use written exercises and screen-shared worksheets during sessions when helpful.
