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
"I have known and worked with Patrick, in a variety of ways, for many years. Not only is he a genuine and empathic person, but he also has exceptional clinical and therapy skills, formulating his clients in a holistic and person-centred manner in order to provide the most efficacious form of eclectic therapeutic interventions for them, bringing about great change in their lives. A truly inspiring clinician and individual." Dr Chris Moore, Director, Expert Psychology Consultancy

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
Accredited Register Scheme
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
