About me
My name is Pauline Deakin and I am a qualified, BACP registered therapist, trained at Regent's College London. I work in South West London and also offer online and phone appointments.
​
I offer person-centred therapy in a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space, so you can talk through anything on your mind. I am particularly skilled in working with bereavement and loss of any kind.
Update: safely providing therapy to you
We are living in difficult times and you may be feeling particularly isolated or anxious. In order to continue providing therapy in a safe and secure way I am currently only offering online or telephone counselling sessions. I have found this to be a very effective way of working as you can speak to me from your own home, along with allowing more flexibility for the hours I can offer.
​
I offer a reduced rate for those on lower incomes, so please let me know if this would be helpful for you.
​
If you have any questions or would like to know more about how we might work together, I would be happy to arrange a free 15 minute telephone consultation. Please get in touch by email or text to arrange a convenient time to talk.
