About Pauline
Pauline Cassidy works on stress, anxiety, LGBT issues, relationship and family concerns, and trauma and abuse using a client-centred approach that foregrounds the person's own experience. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 14 years of experience in counselling and therapeutic work.
Pauline listens for what matters most and helps people talk through current problems and difficult feelings. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow the client's pace and CBT to address thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. She also draws on Jungian Therapy to look at deeper patterns and personal meaning when that is helpful.
Her practice includes work on gender dysphoria and LGBT-related concerns, and she supports people dealing with hoarding, infidelity, jealousy, obsessions, compulsions and OCD. She also offers help with paranoia, personality disorder-related difficulties, and sexual dysfunction when these come up in sessions.
Pauline has experience supporting people affected by prejudice and discrimination, self-harm, young adult issues, and non-monogamous or polyamorous relationship questions. Sessions are carried out in English and she accepts international clients as part of her practice.
She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location.
How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's own concerns at the centre. The counsellor listens closely, follows the client’s pace and reflects what matters most, which helps when people feel overwhelmed or unsure what to do next.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. In online sessions this can involve practical exercises, thought records and step-by-step plans to reduce unhelpful patterns, which suits problems like anxiety and obsessions.
Jungian Therapy pays attention to recurring themes and personal meaning. This approach can help people who want to explore deeper patterns or life narratives alongside more practical work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and will adjust methods as sessions progress in collaboration with the client.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, study or family commitments and they allow for shorter check-ins or regular weekly appointments without travel.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
