Pauline Goh, MA, RCC, FOT
Registered Clinical Counsellor, Certified Focusing-Oriented Therapist 

Crisis points (i.e. marked by physical illness, overwhelm, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, hitting “rock bottom,” “falling apart,” “feeling stuck,” “caught between two places”) can be catalysts for change and transformation in our lives. They offer us opportunities to gain more self awareness and insights, so that we can live our fullest potential. I have found this to be true, based on my own life experiences, and through witnessing my clients’ respective journeys.

My personal history has encompassed migration and travel, working and living in different parts of the world, being entrenched for 15+ years in the corporate world, and working as a counsellor/psychotherapist in the last 16+ years as a second career. Like many others, my awareness has shed light on repetitive patterns, previous blind spots, false selves vs true self, and the ongoing practice of self love. A deeper connection with myself (and others) is the gift on the other side, from reaching out for support throughout the journey.

In my work with clients, I accompany them safely and at their own pace, to explore what is present moment by moment, and to unpack and clear away what is no longer serving them. In life and nature, there is quiet and there is movement; there are seasons of activity, seasons of rest. Sometimes, we experience what feels to be stagnant, and then the next moment, there is flow. Your body knows the answer, and I am here to accompany you in this exploration, with curiosity, compassion, and non judgment.

I am passionate about Tai Chi as a body-mind-spirit practice and a way to engage with community. I am also a Vipassana meditation student who appreciates the practice of stillness, equanimity, and self inquiry. My other interests include resting, nature walks, gardening, parenting, cooking, music, traveling, and conscious dancing.
