Patricia Higgs

Professional profile:

I am a Relationship Counsellor and Psychosexual Therapist for couples and individuals. I studied and worked at the world renowned ‘Tavistock Relationships’ in London. I now see clients at East London Relationship Therapy, and at my Practice in Kent. I work with clients from a wide range of ages, backgrounds and sexual orientations.

I also have nursing training, which I hope helps to put clients at ease when talking about difficult issues around sexuality.

Sometimes being in a relationship can feel lonely. Perhaps you have issues that feel too difficult to address with your partner, such as depression, significant life changes, or worries about your sexual relationship. If you are currently single you might want to explore relationship patterns, or be struggling with depression and anxiety, or wonder why you find intimacy difficult.

Relationships can become stuck, or there may be a downward spiral of miscommunication and negative assumptions that results in each partner feeling trapped by the expectations of the other. I aim to untangle these very complex threads and dynamics.

I work in a Psychodynamic way, which means we think together about how your past experience of life and relationships may be impacting on how you are living today. Issues I deal with include:

  • Breakdown in communication Constant or escalating arguments Affairs and betrayals

  • Difficult family dynamics
  • Loss and grief

  • Sexual issues such as performance anxiety, pain, differences in desire, confusion about your sexuality, and porn addiction.
