PATRICK G. NEEDHAM Psychotherapist
I AM A PSYCHOTHERAPIST SPECIALISED IN WORKING WITH TRAUMA. I have worked within NHS community services, the Ministry of Defence for serving military personal, and continue this work with trauma treatment in my own practice.
I WORK WITH:
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), complex trauma, and sexual abuse, alongside the secondary consequences of trauma experienced as depression, low self-worth and shame, and anxiety disorders.
WHAT DO I OFFER?
I offer bespoke one-to-one online therapy sessions that are tailored to your individual needs. In these sessions we will work collaboratively to build and utilise effective coping strategies and interventions. Together we strengthen your emotional resolve to confront your psychological difficulties and affect a greater sense of positive change.
SERVICES
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT:
I can offer a short consultation for free to discuss the overview and get to know each other. Then in the first session we will assess your needs and agree a way forward. After this, sessions can be weekly, with each online session lasting 1 hour.
WHAT THERAPIES DO I OFFER?
Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy (CBT) aims to help you identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts, feelings and behaviours to bring about immediate and long-lasting positive change in your quality of life.
Art Psychotherapy uses artmaking as a means to externalise often complex thoughts and feelings following difficult or traumatic experiences which may be otherwise too distressing or hard to talk about. It can help people of all ages and at all stages of life. You do not need to be skilled in art to benefit from art therapy.
Eco-therapies’ core concept is incorporating nature into a therapeutic practice to promote an improved mental health and overall wellbeing through restoring the healthy relationship between individuals and the natural world. It can take place both indoors and out.
Compassion-focused therapy (CFT) is an effective treatment for low self-esteem, self-criticism, and shame; and which often drives people’s anxieties and depressive thinking.
