Patrick Doyle, Dip HE, BSc (Hons), MA, Dip.schema.th, PG Cert, MBACP
About me
I am a highly qualified and experienced consultant psychotherapist and supervisor with 20 years experience and recognised clinical expertise in the treatment and assessment of a wide range of mental health problems (including: depression, anxiety, personality disorders and psychosis), problematic behaviours and addictions.
My guiding aim is to help each client to the point where they no longer require therapy or medication, and can cope skilfully and independently with life’s challenges, and understand how the past can impede our ability to cope with the present.
Client Testimonials:
"Meeting Patrick changed my life, in fact, I believe it has saved my life. His therapy techniques have helped me recover from an emotional breakdown that had left me feelings isolated and misunderstood. " Client GB
"I received Cognitive Behavioural Therapeutic treatment from Patrick for a period of time and I found him a wonderfully skilled and talented psychotherapist. He is warm, approachable, compassionate, kind-hearted, has a very easy and professional manner.
And, of course, he is very, very highly skilled as a consultant therapist and clinical director.
I feel that his skills and exemplary manner within the psycho-therapeutic environment are second to none, and I have little doubt that without his help and his therapy I would not be here today to write this recommendation." Client ND
"Patrick is truly exceptional. His prodigious mental health expertise is matched by him being the most considerate, kind, generous, creative person. Patrick is an outstanding therapist as well as an inspired and impactful trainer." Marian Janner OBE, Chief Executive of Bright

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
