Counselling & Conflict Management
Website
When a relationship deteriorates, it's often difficult for the two parties to communicate in a positive way to repair it. Getting help from a professional is often the only way to rebuild the relationship. Fixing the problems in your life isn't always easy. Patrick can help you uncover the underlying causes of these issues and put the pieces back together.

Remember the old cliche - "Actions speak louder than words"? Patrick is trained to listen and understand the real meaning of the words you say when talking about your situation. He can then suggest effective actions that will make a positive difference. Sometimes a relationship has deteriorated to the point where the parties cannot reach a compromise.

Throughout our lives we make choices, encounter challenges and find ourselves in situations which threaten our satisfaction, contentment and happiness. Your counselling session will typically involve a discussion identifying areas of concern which are contributing to a lack of satisfaction with some areas(s) of your life.
Patrick helped us reflect on our behaviours and communication. Having a third party helped us break down the reasons why our conflict had become a real problem. Patrick gave us some strategies to implement which improved our relationship. I was very apprehensive and anxious before my first counselling session, but Patrick quickly put me at me ease from that first session.
Relationship counselling most commonly occurs between partners, though it is not unusual for friends and family members to see the need for a counsellor to assist them with various conflicts and differences. Patrick's approach to relationship counselling has been heavily influenced by his work as a family mediator.
We all encounter challenging periods in our lives, times when we are not sure of the best way forward. Times when our circumstances, decision making or habits of thinking result in us of being anxious, angry, depressed, dependant or just plain sad. At these junctures speaking to a competent counsellor, someone who can help you see "the wood from the trees" can be invaluable.
Hypnosis is a focused state of attention whereby the client is generally more responsive to suggestion. Often the media portrays a practitioner controlling another person or persons. This is not the manner in which Patrick uses hypnotic techniques. He uses hypnosis and relaxation to empower, not to control the client.

Patrick is a great counsellor. Easy to get along with and really helps you to be mindful of your thought process/patterns that you could improve on. Comfortable atmosphere and I thoroughly enjoy his sessions. I couldn't recommend him enough.
