Approaches used and how online sessions work
Patrick mixes clinical hypnotherapy and Reiki into his clinical work. Clinical hypnotherapy uses guided imagery and metaphor to help people access memories and shift how they respond to them; it is often used for trauma processing and to reduce intrusive reactions. Reiki is offered as a complementary approach to promote relaxation and support pain management when clients choose it.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to decide whether talk therapy, hypnotherapy, Reiki, or a combination fits their needs and goals. The plan can change over time as progress and preferences become clearer.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm what is available before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth, and video sessions let the therapist and client work with visual cues; choose the option that best fits schedule, technology, and comfort rather than assuming one format is offered.
