Patrick McDonnell

I see clients in person in Sidmouth and Central Exeter.

I also offer online and telephone counselling.

Please contact me for availability.

Hello and welcome! 

Having taken the courageous step of seeking help with whatever is troubling you, it is obviously important that you find a counsellor who is the right fit for you. 

I have a real passion for my work and take great joy in witnessing the transformation that counselling can provide. I have a warm and compassionate personality, and would meet you with acceptance and a genuine desire to understand and explore exactly what it is that you are going through. I know from personal experience how vulnerable it can make us feel when we share our innermost thoughts and worries.

As a person-centred counsellor I hold the belief that the key to a happy and fulfilling life is to live authentically as our true selves, and often a central part of the counselling process is to explore the things that get in the way of us being able to do this.

I have 20 years' experience working therapeutically in mental health, supporting people with a wide range of issues, including specialist roles in addiction and bereavement. I also have a particular interest in supporting individuals with issues relating to anxiety and depression, past trauma, and with building confidence and self-esteem. 

Whilst I am person-centred in my approach, I will draw on a range of other types of counselling, depending on individual requirements.

I offer a free 30 minute telephone consultation which will give you the opportunity to get a sense of me as a person, and to ask any questions that you might have.
