Pauline Cassidy works from a person-centred perspective and blends practical techniques with reflective work. She uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Jungian ideas to help people untangle what feels overwhelming. Pauline has 14 years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation.

She sees people in the United Kingdom and also accepts international clients. Many people come with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, or relationship strain, and Pauline offers straightforward, calm support.

Background and approach

She helps people talk through LGBT-related concerns, family conflict, and issues around gender dysphoria. She also works with problems such as hoarding, obsessions and compulsions, paranoia, and self-harm. Her sessions often combine practical cognitive-behavioural tools with a focus on the person’s own story and inner meaning.

That means addressing thoughts and habits while listening to what matters most to the individual. Pauline places emphasis on building on a person’s strengths to make change more manageable. She is experienced supporting people with relationship difficulties including infidelity, jealousy, polyamory and sexual dysfunction.

She also offers help for those facing prejudice and discrimination, personality difficulties, and young adult issues. Her approach is flexible to suit different concerns. People can choose from video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging.

Pauline encourages a collaborative process where goals and methods are agreed together. Practical steps and steady progress are central to her work.

Approaches and online therapy that fit your life

Client-Centred Therapy is grounded in listening and respect. The counsellor follows the person’s pace and helps them find their own answers, which can be useful for people coping with identity or relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts and behaviours interact. It uses clear steps and exercises to reduce anxiety, break unwanted habits, and manage mood in day-to-day life.

Jungian Therapy looks at deeper themes and personal meaning. It can help when someone wants to understand patterns that repeat across relationships or life chapters.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process can blend practical tools with reflective work so the plan fits the person rather than the other way round.

Online sessions make this process more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distance. Phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or times with less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging provide a written option for ongoing support between meetings. These formats help people fit therapy around work, study and family life while keeping continuity of care.
