Professional approach
Clinical Expertise, Specialist Skills
I am Dr. Pauline Tapping, a Clinical Psychologist with over a decade of experience providing mental health support to patients facing a variety of psychological and health challenges across clinical, health, forensic, social care, and school settings.
I am passionate about helping individuals feel supported to function better in their lives—whatever their personal goals may be. I firmly believe that psychological therapy is about empowering each individual. I view every client as unique, capable of overcoming their difficulties with the right support and guidance.
My role involves listening, supporting, and guiding each client to help them understand what triggers and maintains their challenges—often, our thoughts and how we respond to them can be key targets for our work. Once we establish a shared understanding (formulation) of your difficulties, I can provide an individualized, 'one-off' support plan to help you take steps towards living a life that aligns with your goals and aspirations.
I have extensive experience working therapeutically with children, families, looked-after children, adults, individuals with learning disabilities, and elderly populations. My specialist experience also includes working within health psychology clinics and neuropsychology services. This broad experience enables me to assist a diverse range of populations experiencing various serious and enduring mental health disorders.
Additionally, I have specialized expertise in conducting neuropsychological and neurodevelopmental assessments, including Autism assessments, ADHD assessments, and dementia assessments, along with providing tailored neuropsychological rehabilitation packages.
Evidence-based Approach
I understand how important it is to use a range of evidence-based psychological approaches and models to uncover what works best for you and your needs. As Dr. Pauline Tapping, I believe in offering an empowering collaborative approach to help you take steps towards meeting your goals and achieving your full potential with effective mental health support.
I have specialist training and experience in a variety of psychological therapy and assessment methods, including:

- Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
- Motivational Interviewing (MI)
- Solution Focused Therapy (SFT)

I can offer sessions online using safe and reliable video technology.
If you are a business, I am able to support you on your premises and provide school visits.
Safe and Individualised approach
My approach is professional, confidential, and focused on YOUR goals to help you reach your full potential. As Dr. Pauline Tapping, I often use coaching principles to create a safe yet supportive environment that challenges patterns of thinking that may no longer be beneficial to your wellbeing and productivity.
My approach to psychological therapy is collaborative, meaning you are an active participant in the therapy process. My role is to help maximize your potential and facilitate steps towards positive action.
My sessions are led by YOU, the client. Together, we can explore your goals and stumbling blocks, devising plans that provide mental health support to help you live a life fully aligned with your aspirations.
