About you
Are you feeling worried, overwhelmed, not good enough, confused or trapped? Perhaps you feel alone with it all and maybe its time to talk and get some support.
Give me a call /text or email, if you would like a free chat to see how it feels to talk with me about what is on your mind.
About me and my therapy practice
About me
A little about how I work..
Whatever is on your mind, it's important to me that you feel comfortable enough to speak openly about it. You don't need to worry about getting it right or coming across in a certain way - there is no such thing. Just bring yourself and whatever is on your mind.
We will work in a way that suits you, at your pace and I will do my best to help you feel at ease, heard and supported.
Practice description
Am I the therapist for you?
It may help you to know that I have experience of working with clients in the following areas:
Family Relationships
Past and present family relationships can be difficult and stressful. You may have confusing feelings about family members that make you angry, worried, hurt, or unsure about what to do.
I offer a space where you can speak openly about all that is going on in your personal life with time to think about what you might want to do about it.
Anxiety
Does your anxiety feel overwhelming at times? Maybe you experience thoughts, feelings and physical sensations that feel frightening. Anxiety can feel like you never get a break.
You can tell me about all the ways anxiety is affecting your life, and together we can work out what might help.
Trauma
Have you had trauma that leaves you feeling stuck in the past? Memories, emotions or reactions may keep recurring without warning and you feel overwhelmed. Perhaps you don't feel yourself any more.
I offer a warm, compassionate space where you can explore your past experiences and how they are affecting you. I will work at a pace that feels right and safe for you.
Students
I enjoy working with counselling students. I offer a place to think and work through both personal and professional challenges.
And a little more about me...
I am a BACP accredited therapist with 10 years' experience. I draw on different approaches which I tailor to your individual needs.
I offer a free initial phone chat about what brings you to therapy and whether I can help. But most importantly you will find out how you feel talking to me.
Give me a call /text on 07585020759 or email [see above].
If its a case of 'Yes I feel at ease talking to Patsy' , then we can arrange our first session together and go from there.
I offer both online and face-to-face therapy depending on what will be most suitable for you,
Patsy
