About Ken Pattinson

Depressed, anxious, stressed, relationship problems.
Are there times when you would like someone to listen and for you to be heard. Someone that understands what you’re saying and makes sense of what you mean. To live in the present, look to the future and learn from the past.

I feel that I can offer you new insights, perspectives and understandings about your situation.

Helping you to explore your issues and help you find new ways forward.

Helping you begin to assess some of the ways you have of viewing yourself and the world around you.

To explore new possibilities of thinking and challenge old beliefs that hold you back.

My task is not to give answers but to provide an environment in which prevention and struggle can be tolerated and worked through.

Helping you find your own answers, enabling you to manage your life in ways that are pleasing to you.

My training, work experience and any achievement

I am a qualified Gestalt counsellor and a member of the BACP. I have a background of working with children as a foster carer and a mentor for Action for children and Catch 22. As a counsellor I have worked with all age groups from a variety of backgrounds and cultures.

I offer an individually tailored service to address the issues that impact on you most. I believe that people have within themselves the strengths and resources to effect real change in their lives. You can come to share in that belief, through empathetic alliance with an attentive counsellor.

I receive regular supervision and as a member of the British association for counselling and Psychotherapy, I adhere to BACP principles guidelines and codes of conduct including confidentiality
