Pauline has been incredible, she helped me through a difficult situation with my work and coping with panic attacks. She is also very knowledgeable on strategies to reduce anxiety and improve communication with my partner. Would highly recommend Pauline

Pauline is a wonderful therapist. She has give me so much tools and knowledge that I didn’t know before to become a better person that I am proud of and help me tackle the key issues I always bring up in our sessions. She helps you see things from a different lens in all angles and gets you thinking about what things mean when you explain something to her. She is caring and respectful but also funny and lighthearted so sometimes the session isn’t too heavy.
I would recommend Pauline to anyone who needs a therapist who listens, takes care of how you’re feeling, gets you to think outside the box and who also praises you when she sees the difference you’ve made on working on yourself.
She responds in a timely manner and you always can feel free to message her anytime you want and you will get a response sooner or later. She’s helped me so much and I cannot thank her enough for coming on this journey with me and to become who I am today!

Pauline helped me get to the bottom of the things I needed to talk about and helped me to not sweat the small stuff. The questions she asked were very thought provoking and she has helped me so much. I am very grateful for Pauline's professional, yet very personable, approach and would recommend her to anyone.

I've had experiences talking to other professionals before but Pauline brings a different sense of warmth to our conversations. She is easy going, knowledgeable, and just a lot of fun to talk to. She really makes me feel heard and understood. For anyone looking for a therapist, I highly recommend her :)
