Providing a Safe Space

 

My name is Pat and I am a Person-Centred Counsellor. Person-Centred Counselling provides a confidential space in which you can explore any concerns which may be troubling you. Person-centred or humanistic counselling emerges from the work of Carl Rogers, and others, who understood that a collaborative therapeutic relationship is effective in supporting each person to find the tools to grow and reach a healed, more complete sense of themself.

​​

I am passionate about equality, and am positive about neurodivergence and GSRD.

I have a heart for anyone who has experienced abuse of any kind, with particculr​

 understanding of Domestic Abuse, Narcissistic Abuse and Adverse Childhood Experiences. Counselling is offered in English or British Sign Language.

​

I am an Accredited member of BACP, and follow their Ethical Framework. (Click here for the Ethical Framework in BSL).

I have also undertaken specialist training in Counselling by telephone and online.
