Hi, I’m Patricia.
I know life can be quite challenging. It often leaves us in need of support to reconnect with our true selves and realise our full potential. Challenges can manifest as worry, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, fear, relationship issues, and even lead to addictions or post-traumatic stress.
To heal and move forward, you need love, patience, safety, and the time to protect and nurture yourself as you grow stronger and more authentic.
I founded Luz Counselling to guide people from this place of pain and fear back to their true selves. My goal is to offer a safe, compassionate space filled with acceptance, curiosity, and healthy relationships, where you can find comfort in being yourself and dedicate time to nourishing your soul.
I’ve benefited from therapy at various points in my life. I’ve seen changes in myself and truly believe that change is possible for everyone. The progress I’ve made is what inspired me to become a therapist.
