Mrs Lesley Patchick

Counselor

“I am a professional, experienced accredited therapist, offering you a safe, supportive environment to explore your needs. I work with all ages using a variety of therapies and have a specialism in working with those who have experienced trauma.”

About Me

I am an experienced, accredited therapist, offering a safe, supportive space for you to explore your needs. Working with all ages, I draw on a variety of therapies. My specialism is guiding those who have experienced trauma. I help you navigate difficult feelings at your own pace, ensuring support is tailored to your unique journey. This fosters understanding and resilience.

Approach

We focus on small, manageable steps, exploring how past experiences shape present responses and building skills you can use day-to-day. In Southend-on-Sea or online, sessions are collaborative and paced to what feels tolerable, with space to reflect between meetings if you find journaling or simple exercises helpful. I blend talk-based exploration with grounding and relational techniques from my trauma work, gently testing new ways of relating to anxiety, loss and low self-worth. This approach often suits people seeking steady, practical support as they regain confidence and calm.
