Pat Jones

I am a counsellor in training at the end of my 2nd year of a three year MA in Contemporary Relationship Studies at Doncaster University College. I’m offering low-cost counselling to couples and families.

I aim to provide a nurturing space for you to explore your concerns and goals, where you feel welcomed just as you are.  Many couples and families seek therapy when communication breaks down, tensions rise, or relationships feel stuck, and they need a safe, non-judgemental space to explore challenges and reconnect. Together, we can explore areas that feel painful or stuck, support healing where it is needed, and nurture growth in directions that feel right for you.

My Approach

My approach is integrative with the foundations in systemic and psychodynamic therapy allowing me to offer an approach tailored to unique needs of clients.

In systemic therapy, sessions often focus on the interactions and relationships within groups, helping clients address issues and move forward. This approach aims to identify and change unhealthy relationship dynamics by exploring deep-rooted patterns in communication and behaviour based on beliefs about roles within groups and families.

Through psychodynamic therapy, unconscious patterns and past experiences that influence current behaviour are explored. This helps to gain insight into actions and emotions and facilitate personal growth and change.

My Christian faith plays an important role in shaping my values and qualities I consider vital in therapeutic work such as compassion and acceptance.

Where it all started

Drawing from over three decades of experience in nursing and midwifery, I bring a wealth of knowledge and compassion to my role as a counsellor. My healthcare journey has offered deep insight into human resilience, emotional wellbeing, and the complexities of life transitions. Alongside this, my own lived experience of facing and recovering from personal life challenges has been a significant part of what led me into counselling. These experiences have shaped my belief in the possibility of change and healing, and I bring the hope I have found in my own journey to support others in making theirs, whatever that may look like for them.
