Patricia offers Hakomi as a way of looking at the world that is compassionate, mindful, curious, non-invasive, humorous and respectful.
Patricia’s experience as a counsellor includes working alongside children and adults with various issues. Clients that are struggling through grief and change, depression, challenging relationships, abuse and other problems that can be overwhelming for a young or adult person and their family connect well with her.
“Sometimes we need someone who isn’t involved in our lives to listen and help us understand some pretty tough experiences. I think it’s important to feel comfortable and safe with a counsellor. I work within an organisation that values professionalism and honours the unique position of every client.”
