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’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.
