Patrick

Hi I'm Patrick. I have spent my life helping people in a variety of ways, and I am here to do much the same.

I have been a support worker in various capacities for over five years, working with those with Autism of various severity, Down Syndrome, Epilepsy, Muscular Dystrophy, and a variety of other learning difficulties. On top of that I have worked as an SEN TA, a tutor, a nanny, guitar teacher and Philosophy teacher (this is what I have an MA in). I am also an accredited counsellor with a senior membership with the AACPH.

I love art, woodworking, writing, any adventure, great walks and music. I know the best natural and fun spots throughout the southwest and with a car I can take people on day trips and to interesting and varied places.

I myself love being active, have good knowledge of trauma and neurodivergence and can get along with anyone. I have a solid track record of bringing the best out of people.

All prices are negotiable and I am flexible for the most part with times.

Would love to chat to you about anything you need.
