About me
Reflecting Back the Wholeness of You
I hope you will never need my help, but if you do ...
I offer support to adults coping with:
- Anxiety or stress
- Depression
- Situations in which they find themselves dissociating
- A sense of loss or grief at losing a hoped-for future including childlessness, divorce, redundancy
- Hurtful or diminishing relationships (individuals only) including personal relationships with partner, parent or child and work relationships including work performance issues
- Struggling with the consequences of experienced childhood neglect or emotional, physical or sexual abuse
- The strain of living with a sense of shame or guilt or low self-esteem
- Feelings of guilt or irritation when caring for dependent partners or parents or with adult dependent children
If any of this feels familiar then contact me on patty.everitt@live.com to arrange for a free assessment call or simply to find out how I may be able to help you. There is no commitment for you to continue.

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
In therapy, we work to explore your experience of reality and the beliefs you hold about yourself, others and the world. Beliefs may be just that, beliefs and not truths.
I often work with women who feel they have lost their sense of who they are, and are living with a sense of disorientation, emptiness or of inexplicable sadness.
I work with men whose sense of self has been diminished through living in difficult relationships or by redundancy.
Losing one’s sense of Self can manifest in many ways: a feeling of low self-confidence, low self-esteem or low self-worth; a feeling of still not being good enough despite all my achievements, of comparing myself unfavourably with others; of putting up with poor behaviours toward me because “that is what I have to do”; of not getting on or losing out again on promotion; or of feeling pinned to the periphery, ignored or abandoned. Perhaps it manifests as a general feeling of anxiety without really understanding the cause, or of low moods and poor motivation. The circumstances are always unique to the person experiencing them; the emotions are utterly human.
My role is to create a physical and emotional space where you feel “safe enough” to explore what is happening in your life and create and rehearse choices for yourself for the future. My place is to accompany you as you do that.
What does “safe enough” mean?
It means building a relationship that is non-judgemental, empathic and confidential and where boundaries are respected. This safe space enables difficult questions to be asked and answered and for emotions to be felt and expressed.
Together we pay attention to your patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviours; we can be curious about these patterns and notice which ones are helpful to you and which are less so.
When we become consciously aware of our patterns and the “musts” and “must nots” we are living by, and didn’t know were there, then we have a choice about if and how we change them.
When we accept choice, then we can take control and responsibility for ourselves and how we live and not be driven by the “musts” and “oughts”; we can be with others and not subject to them; we can recognise our abilities and be recognised for our contributions and not feel we have to hide or belittle our achievements.
If this is something that you recognise or resonates deeply within you and you want to explore further, then please do call or email and I will do my best to answer your questions.
