Patience Mboma

I do work Monday to Saturday flexible hours, and 

 I can arrange for  Sunday sessions late in the evening from 7pm to 10 pm. 

As a senior Psychotherapist, and mental health practitioner with decades of first hands experiences working with NHS, CAMHS, Private Hospitals, Youth offending Teams, and different Bereavement agencies, my work is grounded in an integrative, anti -oppressive framework that prioritizes the therapeutic alliance to foster healing and growth.

My Practice is built on the belief that therapy should be a safe, inclusive, and empowering space where individuals feel heard and valued.

I utilize an integrative model, drawing upon different therapeutic modalities to tailor support to the specific developmental, cultural, and emotional needs of each client:

Person-Centred Therapy( Relational Focus): 

I prioritize the therapeutic relationship as the vehicle for healing. By grounding my practice in core conditions of Empathy, Congruence, and unconditional positive regards.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy ( Structured Change)

I use evidence based CBT frameworks to help clients identify and challenge maladaptive thinking patterns and behaviors.

Trauma informed & Holistic Assessment 

solution-focused brief therapy ( Strength Based Empowerment)

 Systemic Approach

My name is Patience Mbakadi and I am an MBACP Registered Accredited Psychotherapist.

I want to start by welcoming you and acknowledging the courage it takes to begin therapy. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process, and my primary goal is to provide a safe, inclusive, non- judgmental and anti-oppressive space where you feel truly heard and valued, regardless of your background or identity.

What can you Expect from our work together?

My approach is integrative, meaning I draw on a range of methods to tailor our sessions to your unique needs. Rather than following a one- size-fits-all plan, I focus on the whole person.

Here is what that look like in Practice:

A focus on our professional  relationship

A holistic, Trauma- informed view

Different ways to express yourself

Professional, Ethical care

My role is not only to listen, but to actively support you in navigating your challenges whether you are working through difficult transitions, trauma, or relationship complexities. I'm here to help you identify your strengths and work towards the changes you want to see in your life.
