About
Pauline Sten is a PACFA-credentialed clinician licensed in Australia who brings six years of professional practice to work with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction challenges, relationship difficulties, low self esteem, and depression. Her practice includes attention to relationship dynamics and family matters, with additional focus on issues such as attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family and separation matters, and patterns of impulsivity, control, or isolation that can complicate daily life and connections with others.
She approaches each person as the expert of their own story and works from a strengths-oriented perspective. Pauline emphasizes collaboration, listening, and building on what already supports a person as they move toward more fulfilling ways of being. She frames the work as a step-by-step process in which practical coping skills, clearer communication, and increased self-awareness can be developed at a personally appropriate pace.
Clients seeking support for substance-related concerns, relationship repair, or emotional regulation will find a clinician focused on respectful partnership and steady guidance. Pauline aims to provide a supportive space where motivation and resilience can be noticed, named, and strengthened as part of the path forward.

Online collaborative, strengths-focused support
Pauline offers an online pathway that centers on a collaborative relationship and a strengths perspective. She frames the work around the belief that each person understands their own story, and she supports clients in identifying and using existing strengths to address stress, anxiety, addictive behaviors, and relationship challenges. Sessions emphasize partnership, active listening, and practical steps tailored to the client’s priorities.
In sessions she works with clients to explore patterns that affect mood and relationships, to build motivation, and to practice communication or coping skills that fit daily life. This approach is practical and paced according to the individual’s needs, with attention to family-of-origin, attachment, and separation issues when they are part of the presenting concerns.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats can be used to maintain ongoing contact, practice skills between sessions, or choose the communication channel that best suits a client’s circumstances and comfort.
