Patricia Slater

Hello and a warm welcome to my profile. I'm Tricia I'm a fully qualified Integrative Counsellor. I have a particular interest in working with clients who are having problems in their relationships. Do you struggle to set boundaries in your relationships? Are you a people pleaser who avoids conflict at all costs? I help clients get to a place where they can start setting boundaries and expressing their needs in an assertive and effective way. I support clients to explore where their difficulties with conflict come from, and how to manage difficult conversations and situations.

I also work with clients who are experiencing anxiety, low mood and low self-esteem. I can share various coping strategies that will help, however, I believe that while strategies can be very helpful, it's also important to  explore past events. In order to heal we need to understand the patterns that have been established at an early age, and realise how they are affecting our lives today. I support clients to explore these patterns and to release them, so they can move forward.

I offer a safe, non-judgemental space where you can be heard, accepted and supported as you are.

I am from Spain, so I can offer sessions in Spanish as well as in English.

I realise that asking for help takes courage and choosing the right Counsellor is important. I have been described as having a warm and compassionate approach. When I work with you, always working at your pace, we can gently explore what’s at the root of your issues and find a way forward for you.
