About me
Life does not always go to plan. Whether it be your career, bouts of depression, relationship difficulties or just a sense of worry or dread. You might notice this in your children. I can help you find solutions to that you can get back to functioning in a healthier way as quickly as possible.
I enjoy working with clients of all ages. My teaching career has allowed me to specialise in adolescents and young people. Teenagers are particularly responsive to this particular school of psychotherapy as it relies on imagination and very clear goal setting within a well-structured protocol. The Human Givens approach is also a very effective method of family counselling and family mediation. I have a particular interest in delivering mental health and wellbeing training within the school context to pupils, teachers and parents.
The methods I employ with young people are equally effective with adults and I have used them successfully with clients suffering with depression, anxiety, phobias (including school phobia), exam stress or performance anxiety and those in need of general coaching skills.

Testimonials
“Patient, thoughtful and incredibly approachable, Pat has been vital in instilling the student with confidence for his exams. Pat has an easy-going rapport which has established a sense of trust. It has been incredibly impressive to observe the way in which this relationship of trust has enabled notable academic progress to be made. As a teacher myself, I have been grateful to observe Pat in action and will certainly endeavour to replicate many of his effective strategies.”
“I loved my therapy sessions with Pat. He really helped me overcome my fears with my new job. I suffered from terrible anxiety and nervousness when I started it. I now enjoy it very much and this is in no small part thanks to Pat. I would highly recommend him as a therapist.”
“I was impressed with how quickly my daughter engaged with Pat. After the first session she said she felt “lighter” and understood how her mind tricks her into anxiety. She has been using the strategies learnt during her sessions successfully and I have observed a marked difference in her resilience. These are valuable life skills, and I highly recommend this Practice.”
