About me

Hi my name is Patricia and I'm a trained counsellor, offering face to face, online and phone therapy.

Life, at times, can be difficult and overwhelming and you might find you need a space in which you can feel safe, comfortable and securely supported, where you are free to speak openly, be listened to and be heard confidentially. I have experience in helping individuals, via face to face or remotely by online or phone, with a variety of emotional, mental health and behavioural issues. I offer each client the time and opportunity they need to explore their issues and determine the changes they would like accomplish to make their life better all within a warm, friendly, inviting and confidential environment.  

I am qualified in integrative counselling, able to adapt and apply a variety of  therapeutic tools and techniques from different approaches, tailoring them to help each client with their specific needs and issues.   

As previously mentioned, I am also trained, qualified and experienced in delivering therapy remotely via online and phone successfully and effectively. If this is how you might prefer to engage in therapy then please, do call on 07356 041819 or email me on restoringhope.counsellinguk@gmail.com 

I practice equality, diversity and inclusion.  Each person can expect to be accepted and treated warmly, with dignity and respect and without judgement.  I give support and help to those experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, stress, anger and depression, suicidal thoughts, interpersonal, relational and family issues, grief, bereavement and loss using creative techniques and resources.
