About Shirley Patterson
She works one-to-one using a client-centered approach, also known as person-centered counselling. This way of working gives the client control over what they wish to explore while the therapist offers empathic listening and gentle reflection to help the client arrive at their own solutions.
In practice Shirley aims to create an open, non-judgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed and explored. She listens attentively, checks understanding, and shows warmth and respect so clients feel heard and supported as they work through difficult events or ongoing struggles.
Shirley recognises that life events and crises can pile up and affect how people cope, and she focuses on helping clients find practical ways to manage that stress and build resilience. When someone is ready to take steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life, she offers a steady, encouraging presence to empower that journey.
