Pauline Cassidy, BACP

Pauline Cassidy works from a client-focused stance to help people facing stress, anxiety and relationship tension. She brings 14 years of practice in the United Kingdom and supports clients navigating LGBT concerns, trauma and family issues. Her approach treats each person as the expert of their own story and looks for strengths to build on.

She uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a space where people can talk through hard things without feeling judged. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used when practical tools and clearer thinking can reduce persistent anxiety or unhelpful habits. Jungian Therapy is also part of her practice for those interested in exploring deeper personal meaning and recurrent patterns.

Pauline has worked with a wide range of issues including gender dysphoria, hoarding, infidelity and jealousy. She also supports people dealing with obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours, paranoia, personality difficulties, and sexual dysfunction. Prejudice, discrimination and self-harm are additional concerns she addresses.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Her practice operates via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, with fees varying by location and therapist availability. Prospective clients begin by choosing the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire.

Pauline aims to work collaboratively to set goals and adapt methods as needs change. She focuses on clear, practical steps alongside space for reflection, helping people make realistic changes that fit everyday life.

How Pauline’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflecting what matters and helping them feel heard. This approach suits people who need space to talk through identity, relationship strain, or family matters.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and routines. It often involves simple exercises and testing new behaviours, which can help with persistent anxiety, compulsions and stress. Jungian Therapy looks at patterns, symbols and life themes to uncover recurring difficulties and deeper meaning for those who want that exploration.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Pauline typically discusses goals and preferences early on and adapts methods as needs evolve. This is a collaborative process where methods are chosen together rather than imposed.

The original biography does not list which session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow quieter check-ins during a lunch break, or remove the need to be on camera for some conversations. Registered or accredited professionals can use different formats to suit practical needs, and Pauline will talk through what will work best for each person.
