Pauline Cassidy
Person-centred support for everyday struggles
About Pauline
Pauline Cassidy uses a person-centred approach to help people work through difficult feelings. She brings 14 years of experience and a calm, practical style to sessions. Pauline focuses on stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationships, family tensions, and trauma and abuse.
Pauline works from the view that each person knows their story best. She listens closely and helps people unpack what matters most to them. Sessions aim to build on strengths and find realistic steps forward rather than quick fixes.
Background and approach
She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help spot unhelpful thinking and change patterns that feed worry or low mood. That approach is often paired with client-centred meetings so practical strategies sit alongside personal reflection. Pauline has experience supporting people with gender dysphoria, hoarding, infidelity, jealousy, obsessions and compulsions, paranoia and personality-related difficulties.
She also addresses issues such as self-harm, sexual dysfunction, prejudice and discrimination, and concerns common to young adults. Work with Pauline is conversational and paced to the individual. She invites people to set goals and reviews progress together.
Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged for people living in the United Kingdom or internationally.

Therapeutic approaches and online access
Pauline uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on hearing the person behind the problem and building sessions around their priorities. This approach is designed to help people feel understood and to develop clearer personal direction.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety and manage stress. Jungian therapy is used too, offering a reflective route to understand deeper themes and personal meaning when that feels helpful.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Pauline collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She will adjust the balance of support and practical tools over time so the process stays relevant and useful.
Online therapy with Pauline is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, while phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging can be used for brief check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family commitments while keeping continuity of care with a registered professional.
