Welcome, and thank you for visiting my website.
A confidential space to explore the thoughts, feelings and challenges in your life
Hi, I'm Patty....
I aim to offer you the best experience of therapy for your needs.
My belief is that at times therapy might feel challenging, this might feel daunting but it’s at these times growth and transformation can occur.
Are you experiencing difficult challenges in relationships or obstacles in terms of being the personality you want to be, I believe I can help.
Through my work in the NHS and private practice I have experience working with short, medium or long term session goals.
I offer a non judgemental, empathic and confidential space for you to prioritise your needs and am sure together we can achieve the goals you want to work towards.
I work in an ethical informed way to ensure your wellbeing is prioritised.
I am BUPA registered.
Individual Therapy
Through therapy we will aim to address psychological barriers and use them as opportunities for growth encouraging you to develop your internal and external emotional connections. I believe that the answers are already within you, but perhaps slightly out of awareness at the moment. Our work will aim to move you closer to achieving a new understanding of yourself and others.
Influenced by past experiences I help you to understand the stories you have learned to believe about yourself, about your self esteem and what you are capable off. By developing your awareness of these stories you can reach a point where you can decide if you continue holding onto them, or perhaps leave them in the past, where they belong.
Relationship Therapy
I work to understand how the impact of your past experiences may be setting up difficult patterns in your relationships and how some times we need someone objective to help us understand these barriers. My aim is to help you to understand these barriers to ‘let go’ of these and to determine what works for your relationship in the here and now. Relationship issues can cover many different areas, loss of communication, transition periods in the relationships, changes in how we see ourself and how this affects our partner, affairs, addiction and loss of hope.
Supervision
My approach to supervision is based on the Robins and Shohet 7 eyed model of Supervision. Using this model I will aim to creatively help you explore your clinical work and help you to understand where the barriers to effective working may be. I offer clinical supervision to qualified and trainee therapists or any professional working in a therapeutic or person focussed environment.
I work from The Magnolia Therapy Centre at 354 Mansfield Road,
NG5 2EF.
The centre has onsite parking and ample street parking located close by. Additionally it is serviced by excellent bus routes. I work either face to face, online or via telephone.

FAQs
There are so many therapists out there it can feel overwhelming. Trust yourself, often there is a reason we are drawn to someone even if it isn’t immediately obvious. This is why a free 20 minute phone call could help, please feel free to contact me to arrange.
I offer individual sessions of 50 minutes, relationship therapy of 1 hour and supervision to be arranged as required.
Yes
We will review the assessment paperwork I will have sent to you previously and discuss if there are any concerns. Then we will talk about the direction of therapy and what you would like to focus on.
It is, with some limitations. All client work is taken to clinical supervision, where our work may be discussed. Additionally if you inform me of a risk of harm to yourself or others I may need to breach confidentiality. There are also some laws linked with money laundering and terrorism that I am duty bound to contact relevant authorities if needed.
