Background and approach
In sessions he favours a straightforward, person-focused way of working. Conversations centre on what matters most to the client and on finding ways forward that fit everyday life. Patrick uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen closely and respond to each person’s experience.
He also brings ideas from Existential Therapy to help people reflect on meaning, choices and life direction. Together these approaches steer sessions toward clearer thinking and practical steps rather than labels or jargon. Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual.
Patrick supports people dealing with fertility and fatherhood issues, separation and divorce, guilt and forgiveness, social anxiety, isolation and midlife questions. He also addresses antisocial personality concerns and commitment issues with the same straightforward attention. International clients can work with him in English.
He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and book according to the scheduling options provided.
How Patrick’s approach adapts to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on active listening and empathy. The therapist creates space for the client to speak and reflect, which helps with issues like anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship strain. This approach aims to honour each person’s pace and priorities.Existential Therapy invites people to consider meaning, choice and personal responsibility. It can be useful for life-purpose questions, midlife concerns and coping with major changes. Sessions encourage reflection and practical decisions rather than technical labels.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Patrick will talk with each client about their goals and preferences and adapt methods to suit them. This collaborative process helps identify practical steps and the best style for each person.
Online formats offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face dialogue and non-verbal cues, phone sessions can be simpler if bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quicker check-ins, and text-based messaging suits ongoing, shorter reflections. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel while keeping the focus on meaningful progress.
