Patrick's preferred specialisms include hypno-healing, confidence and motivation building and helping clients overcome emotional, habit and phobia problems. He recognizes that every client is a unique individual and he uses the information that he learns from the client during the early stages of therapy to design and develop a tailor made therapeutic programme for them.

Patrick explains:

As a therapist it is my goal that:

if I can help you with a single session I will do so; if I can help you with two sessions I will, and if I can help you in three or more sessions I will....

...and there are few things more pleasant to me than seeing a happy client leaving my room for the last time, having successfully overcome their problems and having begun a better and more fulfilling life.
