Patrick has worked in a multitude of professional settings with adolescents, adults, and couples. In addition, he has significant experience working with neurodiversity as well as gender and sexual diversity. Patricks experience has led to a deep appreciation of the complexities of being-in-the-world.

I am sensitive to the lived experiences, diversity and complexity of the LGBTQIA+ community. I am sex-positive and aim to create a space that is inclusive, non-judgemental and able to hold different lives and cultures. We will find this space together. My practice is informed by a long interest in yoga (ashtanga vinyasa), meditation (insight/vipassana) and buddhism (mostly zen). I am interested in the spiritual journey and the existential and deeply personal questions this throws up – particularly when this intersects with being queer. I am also interested in how we construct (and sometimes deconstruct) our ‘working selves’.

Caring & non-judgemental counselling for LGBTQIA+ folk. You may have been feeling bad about yourself and have noticed that you have been acting in inauthentic ways. Perhaps you are worried others won’t accept the real you. It’s been difficult to share your self-critical thoughts with others. I help LGBTQIA+ folk with a non-Judgmental and caring space to explore and better understand and process their distress.

I believe in offering justice to people's stories, as we all need a hu mane witness to understand us and all parts of us.
Hi, I'm Alex. I'm a counsellor and clinical supervisor who works from a social justice, hu man rights, and non-pathologising lens. I use existential, trauma-informed and person-centred perspectives in counselling. I offer a gentle and curious approach and will be a co-traveller invested in your journey with you. I will not see you as ill, unwell or disordered, but rather as a hu man who thinks, feels and experiences the world in response to their current or past experiences. I offer clinical supervision both in person and online also.
