Patricia Smith

I have worked in both an NHS setting and now in private practice for 16 years. The people I see come from all backgrounds and bring varied issues.

You may be feeling anxious or depressed without an obvious reason, or you might be troubled by a relationship imbalance, work problem, illness or bereavement. You could be facing a life-changing event or you might want to explore unfinished business from the past.

I will work alongside you to uncover more insight about what is on your mind, so that together we can look at ways of making any changes you decide upon.

I work psychodynamically or use a cognitive behavioural approach, depending on what is most useful to you or the issues you face.
