About Patrick
He works in a pragmatic, solution-focused way that prioritises respect and sensitivity. Sessions are shaped around what a person needs, with practical strategies for coping, motivation, confidence and self-esteem. He commonly supports people facing depression, workplace burnout, relationship strain and issues around intimacy and addiction.
Patrick uses an integrative approach, which means he draws on several techniques rather than one fixed method. For people who want cognitive behavioural therapy, he can offer CBT on its own or blend its practical exercises into broader counselling sessions. This makes it easier to learn coping skills and then discuss how they apply in day-to-day life.
He has recent experience supporting NHS staff through periods of acute stress and crisis. That work has informed how he helps people manage intense pressure and compassion fatigue. He also works with concerns such as grief, sleep and eating problems, ADHD and major life changes.
Sessions are tailored to each person and the programme can be adjusted as goals change. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling is arranged to suit availability.

How approach and online counselling come together
Patrick commonly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts and everyday habits to change how people cope. Cognitive behavioural techniques help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and learn practical strategies for anxiety, low mood and stress. He also uses brief, solution-focused methods that aim to set clear goals and build step-by-step plans for change.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through your goals, test different methods and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients are invited to feed back on what helps and what does not, so sessions remain tailored to individual needs.
Please confirm current session formats before booking as they are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or letting people use sessions when they have quieter surroundings. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical options and help arrange sessions that suit daily routines and access needs.
