Informed by his personal love of hiking trails like the Camino de Santiago, the Himalayas in Nepal and Ireland, and his travels throughout India, Paddy views therapy as a journey of discovery—one that requires patience, resilience, and openness.
He believes in the healing power of both individual and collective exploration, and this philosophy extends to his group therapy work, where individuals support and learn from one another in a shared space.
In his integrative approach, he draws on a variety of therapeutic modalities, including humanistic approaches, and mindfulness practices. He also believes strongly in the importance of his own continuous personal therapy and development, recognizing that growth is a lifelong process. This personal commitment enhances his ability to connect with his clients and to stay grounded in empathy, authenticity, and self-awareness.
As an integrative psychotherapist, Paddy also brings over 10 years of experience in addiction counselling, having worked in residential treatment centres and community settings. His work in these environments has given him a deep understanding of the complexities of human suffering and trauma and the profound impact that compassionate, tailored therapy can have on recovery.
He is especially passionate about the transformative potential of group therapy, where shared experiences create a sense of community, support, and healing that can be incredibly powerful for individuals in their personal journey.
When working with individuals or groups, he strives to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their inner worlds, confront challenges, and move toward meaningful change. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, or life transitions, his goal is to help you uncover your inner strengths, build resilience, and achieve a greater sense of balance, fulfilment, and joy in your life.
