Pauline uses a variety of psychological approaches, depending on the individual’s needs. Pauline draws on Psychodynamic principles, as well as skills adopted from Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Schema Therapy, Attachment Theory and Circle of Security, Neuropsychology, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness.

 

Pauline is passionate about helping the individual explore, seek clarification and understanding of early attachments and relationships, as well as life experiences; changes, grief, loss, and childhood trauma; and how these events and relationships shape the way the individual perceives and relate with themselves and others, and the impact on their current life struggle. It is through this process of psychotherapy that the individual develops greater understanding of themselves; impact on how they think, feel and behave within themselves and with others.
