Hi, I’m Patricia!

Do you have a nagging feeling that you’re not being true to yourself or living the life you really want? Perhaps you feel anxious or uncertain without knowing exactly why or what you want to change. Whether you’re new to therapy, uncertain about the process or have worked with a counsellor in the past, I’d welcome the chance to explore what brings you to therapy and how we might work together.

At the heart of my work is the belief the relationship between us should be a strong and honest one; this is the foundation for us to work together. I will then draw on evidence-based skills and interventions to address what you want to work on and will support you as you slowly integrate this into your own life. All at your pace, whilst I might also gently challenge you when appropriate. The clients I regularly work with often navigate a wide range of life’s challenges; whether that’s depression, anxiety, grief, chronic health conditions, trauma, abuse, low self-esteem, body image or exploring relationships.

My training is within Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, Cognitive-Behavioural, Existential and Systemic approaches, which allows me to tailor our work to meet your needs.

Growing up abroad and having visited other countries, I am also attuned to cultural differences and how this might play a role in your own personal growth.

I understand how difficult it can be to take the first steps in reaching out for support and as counsellor I am here to welcome you to in an open, friendly and non judgemental way. I believe in the healing power of being truly listened to and having the chance to share our own unique story without fear of being judged. I am here to listen to you and guide you in achieving the best possible outcome in your counselling journey. I provide a confidential, empathic and safe space which you feel able to offload whatever is troubling you.

If you are thinking about counselling but are nervous or unsure please do contact me and I would be happy to explain how the process works.
