After completing the three-year Core training in ISTDP (2018), Patsy extended her learning through Advanced training courses.

She is fascinated to work within the attachment-based ISTDP framework, having seen the positive impact the related interventions can have on current interpersonal, health and psychological difficulties. She offers a warm and compassionate approach whilst identifying unconscious beliefs and processes which contribute to distress, low mood and anxiety. She invites curiosity, precision and rejection of unhelpful and self-sabotaging dynamics while promoting self-compassion, self-care and self-acceptance.
She has worked in a variety of settings, including an IAPT service, Employee Assistance Programmes and is currently in private practice.
Appointments can be face-to-face in Derbyshire, UK, or online.
