A natural progression from this was to branch into staff development where Pauline wrote and implemented a variety of courses.  After that she went into management positions of various kinds, and completed a Diploma in Adult Psychotherapy.  Pauline became a manager of the after hours child protection service in which she was able to develop and offer crisis response skills.  She used these in a variety of settings including critical incident debriefing and bushfire recovery.

In 1999 Pauline started her own therapy practice and soon expanded into Human Resources consulting.  Her continuing training included workplace investigation; gaining Certificates in Corporate Investigation and Investigation Management.  Assembling a team of colleagues, Pauline was able to offer an innovative service in addressing workplace bullying.  In 2004 she trained in executive coaching and has been able to make a significant contribution to companies going through a change process.  Recent projects include:
