Hello, my name is Patrick, and I am a qualified counsellor with three years of experience. I am very interested in working with individuals who struggle with stress and anxiety, especially those with work-related issues. Embracing a pluralistic approach, I engage with each client on a deeply personal level, making significant contributions to their learning and confidence.
Through a collaborative partnership using online video conferences, I aim to create a safe environment for you to explore your feelings and emotions without fear of being judged. I help clients develop plans to work through their issues in a way that suits them best. I also make sure to have safeguarding in place if a client shows signs of potential harm to themselves or others.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
