About Patrick
He helps people with stress, anxiety and depression, and supports work-related burnout and motivation concerns. Relationship strains, self-esteem, confidence and intimacy-related issues are also part of his practice. He lists additional focuses such as grief, addictions, trauma and ADHD among other areas.
Patrick describes his style as motivational, pragmatic and solution based. That means sessions often focus on concrete coping skills and small, achievable steps. He also blends different techniques to suit what a person needs in the moment rather than following a single method.
He is trained to offer cognitive behavioural therapy, and can deliver it on its own or mix its techniques into broader counselling sessions. This flexibility is useful for people who want structured tools as well as space to talk.
Patrick has recent experience supporting NHS staff through crisis periods. He combines that practical experience with a calm, respectful approach and aims to tailor work to each person’s situation. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.
How therapeutic techniques translate to online sessions
Patrick works with evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change and clearer thinking. Cognitive behavioural therapy involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behaviour changes; it is often used for anxiety, depression and stress. He also uses motivational, solution-focused methods that help people set realistic goals and take gradual steps towards them.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patrick will discuss what matters to the person, try different techniques when needed, and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. The aim is to match methods to goals and preferences rather than following a fixed formula.
If you are considering online work, check which session formats are currently offered before booking as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing quicker check-ins. It also lets people try talking from a familiar routine and use tools like worksheets and short behavioural tasks between sessions to reinforce progress.
