Pauline Dudley - Mindful Keeping Counselling Services Counselling services for adults living with, though not limited to, challenging mental health issues

Hello, I’m Pauline Dudley, and I am a qualified Clinical Counsellor working in the Hunter Valley Region of New South Wales. I am registered with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA), the Australian Counselling Association (ACA), and I am also a registered NDIS provider. In my practice, I offer face to face, online and telephone counselling services (conditions apply).

My professional and life experiences are diverse and span over many years, and my passion in life has always been about helping people to overcome life stresses and to find a sense of equilibrium so that they can manage everyday life challenges. I entered this profession later in life based on my own private journey and decided to re-educate myself along the way. I have a Bachelor of Applied Social Science (Counselling), a Diploma of Counselling and Communication, and many years of complex Mental Health experience. I work with adults of various ages and backgrounds and have a dedicated interest in helping them. I draw on my gentle nature, empathy, and understanding and my natural ability to be in their presence. I frequently undertake professional development to remain well-informed about new developments relating to the counselling and therapeutic profession, and I attend regular supervision to provide my clientele with skilled and helpful feedback to enhance their journey. My aim is to give clients hope and a sense of safety to feel good about themselves, thus increasing their self-love, self-awareness, and the motivation to take control of their life accomplishments.

Shame is not easy to recognise but it is treatable, seeking professional help can be extremely beneficial for navigating through unwanted thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.

Sharing personal shame requires a level of courage, acceptance, and vulnerability and this can be quite daunting for some. With guidance and support the outcome can be very positive and healing.

Shame is not easily overcome, especially when it is part of who we are and how we see ourselves, sometimes we are unaware of the impact shame has on our lives. There are various ways of responding to shame, thus reducing the impact it generates. Acknowledge that there is a problem, recognise the signs and practice self-compassion.

There are a range of potential causes of shame, some that are short-term and associated with a particular experience or event, or the shame can be attached to experiences linked with childhood, where there is little or no power to change the situation.

Shame is the emotion that ties into our underlying sense of self, an emotion that no one wants to feel or talk about. That critical voice that can be persistent and considerably undermine a person’s capacity to change and grow. It can be paralysing, demeaning and can interfere with how we see ourselves and our lives, thus having the power to control our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.

Communication is crucial when it comes to setting healthy boundaries, especially where there are fewer boundaries in place or no boundaries at all. If your internal dialogue is negative and you are your own worse self-critic, then setting boundaries can be difficult. A lot of it comes down to what is important to you, your values, self-worth, and self-respect.
