Pauline Rodgers , BACP

Pauline Rodgers is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings ten years of experience helping adults and young people work through anxiety, stress, depression and life changes.

She uses an integrative style that draws on client-centred, attachment-based and solution-focused ways of working. That lets her adapt to what each person needs rather than using a single method for everyone. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what matters to the client in the moment.

Pauline often helps people dealing with relationship and family difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges around intimacy and addiction. She also supports people facing career pressure, workplace issues, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. Women’s issues and multicultural concerns are named areas she pays attention to in her work.

Her approach is down-to-earth and practical. Conversations aim to increase understanding, identify small changes, and build clearer next steps. She encourages clients to notice patterns from early attachments as well as current routines that keep problems going.

Pauline offers a steady, non-judgemental presence during sessions. She invites clients to speak openly, try new ways of coping, and review progress together. If someone wants to begin, she asks them to complete a short questionnaire to match and arrange sessions.

How different approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can give space to talk about patterns of closeness and distance, and to try new ways of relating in everyday life.

Client-centred therapy puts the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens, reflects and follows the client's lead so people feel heard and can find their own solutions to stress, low self-esteem or difficult decisions.

Solution-focused work targets small, practical steps that create change quickly. It suits those who want to set clear goals and try concrete experiments between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs to decide what to try first, and will adapt methods as work progresses. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to the individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat and messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer not to use a camera. These options help fit therapy around work, childcare or travel and make regular contact more achievable for many people.
