“I am based in UAE and being able to have therapy sessions via skype with a UK based counsellor has been so helpful and comforting to me. I am feeling a lot less anxious now with Pam’s help and support”

“Pam is a warm, kind and caring counsellor. I wouldn’t see anybody else”

“I can’t thank Pam enough, through therapy I have made such an improvement with my M.E. I am coping and managing with my symptoms so well that it barely interferes or holds me back with my life”

“The support and guidance that Pam has given has allowed me to find a better way to view my everyday relationships and to look ahead to the future. The process has not always been easy, but when I made the effort, I’ve experienced the difference in my emotions and as a result realised that there is a better way to live”

“I had never considered counselling before I approached Pam.  Once I’d taken the first step of booking and attending an initial session, I was surprised at how quickly I felt at ease.  Therapy with Pam slots easily into a busy professional life.  She has helped me find the courage to take control and move my life in a new, positive direction.

With Pam I feel that I am taking an important step in rebuilding my life in a way that’s true to the real me.  Working with Pam has made a significant difference to the way I look at the challenges of life.

I now have a variety of ‘tools’ that I use to get more positive outcomes from difficult circumstances.

Pam’s positive, friendly, constructive approach really makes a difference”

“I had been suffering with unidentified physical symptoms for years since I had a traumatic experience.  I was diagnosed with a conversion disorder where my brain was converting emotional pain and distress into physical symptoms.  With Pam’s help I was able to find ways to work through the trauma and find ways of my brain coping and dealing with the trauma and depression without experiencing such horrible physical symptoms such as paralysis and blindness”

“I had been battling with an insurance claim for permanent disability due to severe CFS and Fibromyalgia for years. I thought all hope was lost as I was on my final appeal. A consultant put me in contact with Pam Fitzpatrick who assessed my case and symptoms and was able to write an incredible evidenced based medical report that enabled me to get what I truly deserved.  I could have never have returned to my previous physical and mentally intense work role.  Thanks ever so much to Pam for her understanding and support. Her report really did make such a difference to how they viewed my condition”

“I came down with CFS about a year ago. I had recovered to a base level of activity on my own but was very much stuck and not getting any further than about 50% functioning.  I was desperate to return fully to my life.  I started CBT for my CFS with Pam and undertook a very strict Graded Exercise Programme along with CBT specific to CFS.  Well I will never look back I am now 95% recovered and enjoying life again, riding my horses, playing with my kids and working all at the same time!”
