Patricia Deppe

I offer face-to-face sessions on a Wednesday and Thursday. I can alternate weeks online or as needed.

As a fully qualified psychotherapist, I work with both couples and adults in a person-centred, sensitive and caring way.

My approach is integrative and psychodynamic determined by the individual and their needs. My work involves an exploration and understanding of your life and experience from birth to present, including unconscious processes and dreams. I seek to understand thought patterns, fears, obstacles and unhelpful perceptions that stand in the way of love and success. You are encouraged to talk about and understand your feelings, and to learn to distinguish between truth and fear.

As a trained Alternative Dispute Resolution professional, my work with couples is intended to help couples manage and resolve conflict efficiently and peacefully without going to court.

I have helped numerous clients and patients work through anxiety and depression, addiction, bereavement, panic attacks, and more. I have worked in the NHS in complex care and having trained in an NHS hospital, I am able to help you to understand yourself better and to accept yourself.

“The one thing you can’t take away from me is the way I choose to respond to what you do to me. The last of one’s freedoms is to choose one’s attitude in any given circumstance.” ~Victor Frankl

When you come to therapy with me, you can expect a warm, thoughtful, and non-judgemental space where you can speak openly and be met with curiosity, compassion, and respect. My role is not to tell you what to do, but to help you understand yourself more deeply, make sense of your experiences, and discover new ways of responding to life’s challenges.

I work collaboratively, recognising that every person is unique. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, loss and bereavement, relationship difficulties, personality-related challenges, or feeling stuck, we will work at a pace that feels safe while gently exploring what may be keeping you from living the life you want.

I value diversity and welcome people from all backgrounds, cultures, identities, beliefs, and life experiences. My aim is to create an environment where you feel seen, heard, and accepted as you are.

Therapy can be challenging at times, but it can also bring clarity, resilience, and lasting change. Together we will build a trusting therapeutic relationship that supports you in understanding yourself more fully and moving towards a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

Our first session is an opportunity to find out the rapport between us, which will help set the scene for you to the help you need.

I will ask you about your goals and expectations, and it is an opportunity for you to ask me questions about the way I work.

I don't charge for this first session and it will last up to 30 minutes.
