Connect with Patrick Sisam - Self Esteem, Relationship Issues

Everyday life can be overwhelming. Emotions take over, self-doubt creeps in, old habits make you feel stuck in a continuous, negative cycle. Sometimes you can handle things on your own but asking for help doesn’t mean you’re weak. In fact, it takes courage to overcome your fears and make real life changes. If you are feeling held back by low self esteem, lack of emotional regulation, stress or anxiety, I can help. I focus on self esteem, emotional regulation, relationships and men’s issues.

I help clients slow things down. To learn to respond, not react. To uncover problematic patterns of thinking and behaviour and develop practical tools for change. To cultivate healthier relationships. To identify and process the “feelings under their feelings” and become more comfortable in their own skin.

I utilize CBT, SFBT, narrative therapy, existential therapy and psychodynamic theory in collaborative, supportive and open sessions. Together, we’ll explore what’s getting in your way and create strategies to address current and future issues and find deeper meaning in your life. Reach out for a free consultation.

Specialties and Expertise

Top Specialties

Self Esteem
Relationship Issues
Men's Issues

Many of my clients - both men and women - have issues surrounding self-esteem that negatively impact their relationships and personal identity. Though I treat some issues that are more associated with men - like pornography addiction - I see "men's issues" as being any mental health challenge men face.

Solution Focused Brief (SFBT)

My previous career as a writer/directer led to my interest in narrative therapy - to help individuals understand and modify the maladaptive stories they tell themselves. I find CBT, SFBT and psychodynamic therapy useful in helping clients identify and modify problematic patterns of thinking and behaviour. Existential discussions can help them find deeper meaning in their lives.
