Patrick's approach to therapy is based upon brief solution focused therapy and systematic eclecticism. He favours the use of techniques with a solid history of success and he works holistically in a primarily outcome oriented way. He uses a wide range of counselling, psychotherapeutic and hypnotherapeutic techniques to help his clients overcome presenting problems and achieve their goals.

Patrick's preferred specialisms include hypno-healing, confidence and motivation building and helping clients overcome emotional, habit and phobia problems. He recognises that every client is a unique individual and he uses the information that he learns from the client during the early stages of therapy to design and develop a tailor made therapeutic programme for them.

Patrick likes to help clients to overcome a wide range of problems including: depression, anxiety, stress, panic disorders, nightmares, trauma, phobias, insomnia, addictions, inappropriate anger, self identity issues, nervousness, IBS, chronic pain, painful memories, interpersonal and relationship problems, negative thought patterns. He also likes to help clients who wish to grow in confidence, develop self esteem, improve personal performance, give up smoking or deal with life changes.

The number of therapy sessions needed to help a particular client overcome their presenting issue varies according to the type of problem and certain other factors. As a general rule most clients find between three and five sessions to be extremely helpful. If you would like to book a session with Patrick his contact details are below.

Patrick explains:

As a therapist it is my goal that:
if I can help you with a single session I will do so; if I can help you with two sessions I will, and if I can help you in three or more sessions I will....
...and there are few things more pleasant to me than seeing a happy client leaving my room for the last time, having successfully overcome their problems and having begun a better and more fulfilling life.
