About Me

Dr. Pauline Hall has specialized in couples therapy, individual therapy for depression, anxiety, schizophrenic, and work-stress-related issues for over ten years. Career coaching for adults and adolescents is also Dr. Hall’s strength.
Meanwhile, the majority of therapeutic orientations in the modern mental health field are developed from the Western theoretical world. Dr. Hall is passionate to explore and practice with the Asian modality. She indeed is aiming to develop a psychotherapy orientation for the Asian population in particular. Dr. Pauline Hall is a culturally-informed clinical psychologist. She is a Chinese-speaking clinical psychologist in Sydney.
Dr. Hall wants to understand human nature, therefore, she chose to be a psychologist ten years ago. She believes each client is a living story. If she can enter the story of the client, link up and connect with the present moment, then the person would realise “this is how we are living” - That is the power of the present moment and it is from our innate ability.
Dr. Hall welcomes anyone, who would like to search his or her inner self. At her clinical practice, she adopts experiential and mindfulness-based therapeutic models. She delivers messages to her clients during sessions, “You’re not alone! This will be a journey where you’re accompanied by me to unlock your inner happiness” which helps many individuals who suffer from long term depression, anxiety, and any other kinds of mental health issues. She often quotes Dalai Lama XIV's words, “Give the ones you love wings to fly, roots to come back, and reasons to stay.”
In her leisure time, Dr. Hall spends her time in meditation, listening to music, roasting coffee, reading books, and watching TV. She is also a cat lover!
