I am currently offering a *FREE 60min INTRODUCTORY SESSION*  in which you can better discuss your present needs and get a sense of if you’d like to work with me.  There’s absolutely no obligation for you beyond this introductory session so please take the opportunity if that’s something that feels right for you.

I CURRENTLY WORK ONLINE, for both short-term or long-term work.   (For face-to-face work please read on.)

I presently have availability on Mondays/Tuesdays/Wednesdays, and can work weekly, fortnightly or monthly with you as is your preference.

From December 2nd I will also have availability for short-term work (up to 16weeks) in Brighton and the surrounding area (with the option to move online beyond the initial face-to-face work if required).

Simply call, text or email me and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Pat: 07902 594000/counsellor.patcrabtree@gmail.com

Hello, and a warm welcome to my profile.

Approaching counselling can feel like a big step - I absolutely get that - yet we all experience times when life circumstances lead to increasing confusion, overwhelm and stress in which we can struggle to gain any clarity on the best way forward for ourself.  

Mental and emotional distress are incredibly common within the demands of modern life and are not signs that there is something inherently wrong with us - only that we are presently struggling to cope with everything on our own.

Each of us is utterly unique in the life we've so far lived and how that then has shaped us: this means each of us not only has our own unique perspectives on the world but also that we're all equipped differently in terms of our resilience and resourcefulness in the face of life's challenges and difficulties.  

Counselling provides the precious opportunity to begin to acknowledge and accept who we are and where we are - as a necessary foundation upon which we can then begin to create a life aligned to our values and deeper authentic callings. 

As your counsellor I'll provide a space in which the uniqueness of who you are is held with warmth and respect, my aspiration to create a safe, trustworthy space free of judgement and any expectations in which you’ll feel supported to explore your present experience, to gain increasing clarity on why things are as they are right now for you, and how you then might step forwards towards increasing authenticity and fulfilment.  

If after reading this far you feel I might be on your wavelength then please consider getting in touch - 07902 594000 - to arrange a free 60min introductory session online to discuss your present needs and see if you would like to work with me.

I work internationally online via Zoom.

I'm qualified to Diploma and Foundation degree levels in person-centred counselling and integrative approaches, am a Registered Member of the BACP, and continue to develop myself personally and professionally in respect of self-reflection, supervision, ongoing training workshops and am currently training in Integrative Psychotherapy.

I currently offer a free 60 minute introductory session in which you can further discuss your present needs and get a sense of if you’d like to work with me.  I’ll support you in this session as I would our wider work - with the strictest of confidentiality, with warmth and free of judgement.  

If this is something that feels right for you and might be helpful then please take advantage and know there’s absolutely no obligation to you beyond this session.

Our first session proper would initially see us deciding upon a working agreement together, I’ll talk a little about how I work and we will also discuss your goals and expectations of counselling.
