About Pauline
Pauline Cassidy offers a person-focused way of working that keeps the client's experience at the centre. She uses straightforward conversation to help people understand what they are going through and to find practical steps forward. Pauline believes people already have strengths to draw on and aims to build on those in each session.
She has 14 years of experience in mental health work across the United Kingdom and draws on several therapeutic styles.
Background and approach
Her practice commonly addresses stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, and LGBT-related issues. She also supports people facing gender dysphoria, hoarding, obsessive-compulsive behaviours, and difficulties such as jealousy or infidelity. Pauline combines Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and ideas from Jungian Therapy to shape the work.
That means sessions often begin with listening, then move to thinking about patterns of thought and behaviour, and sometimes look at deeper personal meanings. The pace and focus are guided by the person in the room. People meeting her can expect a calm, practical approach that aims to make day-to-day life easier.
Sessions include talking through current problems, trying small experiments between meetings, and reflecting on longer-term patterns where helpful. Pauline offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. She works via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, so people can choose the format that suits them best.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps people try practical changes and small experiments to reduce anxiety, compulsive behaviours or unhelpful patterns over time.
Jungian Therapy attends to symbols, personal stories and recurring themes in a person's life. It can help when someone wants to explore deeper meanings or long-standing patterns that affect their mood and relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods suit the person's goals, preferences and day-to-day needs. That collaborative process can change as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, so people can pick what fits their routine. Video is useful for a face-to-face feel, phone works when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can be helpful for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make therapy more flexible for work, study or busy family life.
