About Pauline

Pauline Cassidy is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 14 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, LGBT issues, relationships, family concerns, and trauma and abuse. Pauline combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural and Jungian approaches in her practice.

She centres sessions on the person's own perspective and strengths. That means listening first, then helping people notice patterns and options. Cognitive behavioural tools are used to address anxious thoughts and behaviours in straightforward, practical ways. Jungian ideas help when people want to look at deeper themes, symbols or repeated life patterns.

Pauline works with a broad range of issues beyond the main areas. These include gender dysphoria, hoarding, infidelity and jealousy, obsessions and OCD, paranoia, personality difficulties, non-monogamous relationships, prejudice and discrimination, self-harm, sexual difficulties and young adult concerns. She aims to map which approach suits a particular problem and person.

Sessions are structured around clear goals and practical steps when that helps, or around open exploration when a person prefers to reflect. She assists clients to build small changes that fit their daily life, and to test new ways of responding to stress or relationship strain.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment. The therapist accepts international clients and works in English. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. The therapist listens and follows what matters most to the client, helping them find their own solutions and build on strengths. This approach suits people who want a reflective, person-led conversation.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and trying practical experiments to change them. It is often used for anxiety, stress and compulsive patterns where clear steps and homework can help reduce symptoms.

Jungian therapy looks at recurring themes, symbols and deeper personal narratives. It can be useful when someone wants to explore patterns that repeat across relationships or life stages rather than only immediate symptoms.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to use one method, blend approaches, or adjust the plan as work progresses.

The biography does not list session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily routines, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals use these formats to help people maintain progress while balancing family, study or work commitments.
