Imago Therapy & Relationship Counselling

Patricia is a qualified Imago Relationship Therapist. She is gentle, yet powerful in her approach to help couples create safety with each other. She knows the value of a place free from criticism where there is space to be listened to, heard and validated. She facilitates a way for couples to talk to each other and get to root causes, rather than going round in circles covering the same ground and going nowhere.

Imago Therapy is a profound way to heal the distress often caused by years of stored up disappointment, hurt and anger. Her focus is on helping couples restore harmony, passion and happiness.

Patricia has a Special Interest in Women's Issues

Patricia has a special interest in women’s health and to this end she has worked in liaison with Dr. Margaret Smith (gynaecologist and obstetrician) for over 20 years. Together they have co-authored a book for women at mid life “Is It Me or My Hormones” as well as consulting, giving talks, seminars and retreats for women of all ages and stages.

A Founder of Attitudinal Healing in Australia

Together with her husband and Dr. Margaret Smith she brought Attitudinal Healing to Australia helping to establish the Centre for Attitudinal Healing in Perth and a retreat centre in Serpentine.

As Clinical Coordinator since 1998 Patricia has been responsible for the overseeing of content and design of programs and the training of facilitators.

In 1994 Patricia travelled to the USA to receive the prestigious Jampolsky award for the centre’s ‘Healing Family Relationship’ program from the Fetzer Institute, which is affiliated with the University of Michigan’s Medical Department.

Patricia’s focus is on enabling a shift in perception that is overarching all her work with both men and women helping them to see differently, follow their dreams and achieve success, happiness and freedom. Giving people tools to have peace of mind regardless of what is happening in their life, moving from separation to connection and from fear to love.

Patricia has presented seminars on Relationships, Forgiveness, and Success and Happiness in Perth, nationally and USA over a number of years. For more than 20 years she has passionately pursued ways to create lasting change, inner peace, freedom, success and happiness. She brings to her work a synthesis of learning, a wisdom warmth and compassion, which has been etched from life experience and the courage, sense of humour and passion to enter life and share it with others.

Patricia has been married to Donatus for 30 years and has 4 adult children and 2 grandchildren.
