Pauline Cassidy, BACP

Pauline Cassidy is a United Kingdom-based therapist with 14 years of professional experience and BACP accreditation. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, and a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, LGBT-related issues, gender dysphoria, hoarding, infidelity, jealousy, obsessions and compulsions, paranoia, personality disorder presentations, non-monogamous relationship dynamics, prejudice and discrimination, self-harm, sexual dysfunction, and young adult challenges.

Pauline approaches each person believing they are the expert in their own story and that they already possess strengths which can help them move through what feels challenging. Her practice combines client-centered listening with evidence-informed techniques to support change, and she draws on a Jungian perspective when exploring deeper patterns and meaning. She aims to create a collaborative space that empowers people to take the courageous first steps toward greater wellbeing and more satisfying relationships.

Open to working with international clients, Pauline offers flexible ways to connect so people can access support that fits their circumstances and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Pauline draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and Jungian ideas to tailor online work to each person's needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathetic listening and creating a supportive, non-judgemental space so people can explore their feelings and choices; it is often helpful for relationship concerns, identity questions, and emotional processing. CBT offers practical, structured techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, obsessions, and compulsions. Jungian therapy attends to deeper patterns, symbols, and personal meaning, which can aid people working through long-standing issues, trauma, or questions about identity and life direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Pauline treats this as a collaborative endeavour. She works with clients to clarify goals, tries methods suited to the individual, and adjusts the approach as new insights emerge so that therapy aligns with each person’s preferences and circumstances.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging. This range of options helps people fit therapy into busy lives, access support from different locations, and choose the communication style that feels most helpful for them.
