Patrea is a registered psychologist whose mission is to help raise consciousness by helping people be their best, especially when life seems toughest.

In these challenging times, we can often have unpleasant experiences including stress, anxiety, and depression, and feel hopeless and frustrated that we’re just not getting on top of things, or that we’re just not good enough.

Sadly, life can be challenging and sometimes even painfully cruel. It’s unlikely that any of us get through life completely unscathed.

So rather than wish that all these tough times just go away, as difficult as it can be, we’d do better to rise to the challenges that life presents us.

Patrea is an experienced psychologist, skilled in helping her clients learn how to navigate life’s inevitable challenges by shifting how and what they focus on. Patrea is caring and compassion and is committed to helping her clients learn how to manage emotions so that they develop resilience (and even become anti-fragile – that is, get stronger from life’s difficulties), and improve their confidence, and self-esteem.

Patrea is also keen to help her clients develop better habits in life (including their patterns of thinking) so they can achieve their goals in energy, work, and love.

Patrea is particularly experienced and interested in the following areas:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Stress and burnout
• Life adjustments & transitions
• Trauma and PTSD
• Grief and loss
• Relationship issues
• Work-life balance
• Spirituality and meaning in life
• Ageing
• Changing habits
• Executive coaching
• Sleep

She is trained in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Executive Coaching, Sport Psychology, and Positive Psychology.

Patrea enjoys keeping fit and healthy, reading, travelling, and has had some profound experiences in both mindfulness meditation and breathwork.

If you would like support to help you learn the skills you need to overcome life’s obstacles so that you can live your best life rather than feel you are constantly at the mercy of circumstances outside your control, then book in for an appointment with Patrea.
