“To be emotionally literate is to be able to handle emotions in a way that improves your physical power and quality of life and equally importantly, the quality of life of people around you. Emotional Literacy works for you instead of against you.”

Claude Steiner



What is Emotional Literacy?

  • Do I already have it?
  • Can I learn more?
  • How will emotional literacy support me in life, work, and relationships?

  • In my experience everyone has a foundation level of emotional literacy and it can benefit us all to just keep on building and building those skills.
  • As we travel through life we continually experience a whole range of emotions and can add value to our lives by being present in these experiences.
  • By learning and deepening our emotional literacy we become ‘alive’ to ALL of our emotions and more skilled at empathising with ourselves and others. We become more skilled in expressing our emotions in healthier and more helpful ways.


Many of us can recognise elements of emotional illiteracy within our lives. Emotional Illiteracy can manifest itself in so many unhelpful ways that will impact our life, work, relationships, as well as our emotional and physical health. 

Some examples of emotional illiteracy are poor regulation skills, irrational or no decision making, difficulties creating and maintaining positive relationships, numbing of emotions using a range of unhelpful and unhealthy strategies, and lack of recognising our own or other emotional states.

With gaps in our emotional literacy we can also lack awareness or motivation to change and so our emotional illiteracy can deepen.

The world of self-development is scattered with buzzwords, many of which can create barriers to allowing everyone to feel they can access or engage fully in self-development learning. 

As a former educator with a commitment to inclusion Pauline is committed to demystifying this by unpicking and digging deep around any self-development buzzwords and phrases, thus allowing every participant to feel safe and included in all learning opportunities.

As a common-sense coach Pauline will present the learning in a way that brings it into familiar frames of reference for all.


“Pauline  is a fantastic coach, teacher, EmotionAll explainer. Her content and the way she explains things is just so valuable.
