About Pauline
Pauline Cassidy is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 14 years of professional experience. She works with stress and anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationship strain, family conflict, and trauma and abuse. Pauline supports people exploring gender dysphoria, hoarding, infidelity, jealousy, obsessions and compulsions, paranoia, personality disorder issues, non-monogamous relationship dynamics, prejudice and discrimination, self-harm, sexual dysfunction and young adult issues.
She uses practical, talk-based methods to help people notice patterns that make life harder. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. Client-Centred approaches focus on listening and following the client's priorities. Jungian ideas can be brought in when exploring recurring personal themes or the meaning of troubling experiences.
Sessions are short and focused on concrete steps. Pauline helps people spot thought and behaviour cycles and then tries practical alternatives. That might mean testing a new social habit, changing an unhelpful thinking pattern, or trying a different way of talking about a relationship issue.
Her work aims to be straightforward and structured. She encourages small experiments between sessions and reviews what helps. People who want clear, practical tools for anxiety, relationship problems or identity questions often choose this style.
To begin, the pathway is to use the online matching process, answer a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How CBT and related approaches work in online sessions
Pauline draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centred work in online sessions. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new responses to reduce stress or anxiety. Client-Centred therapy emphasises listening, following the person's priorities and building a straightforward plan together. Jungian ideas may be used when it helps to explore repeating life themes or symbolic material.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Pauline will review your concerns and preferences with you and suggest which methods to try first. The decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as work continues.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, study or family commitments. It also allows shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings when video is difficult, and it removes travel time so people can focus on practical steps between sessions.
