Hi, I’m Fliss, a person-centred counsellor and the founder of Patina Counselling.

The name Patina Counselling comes from the word “patina”: the effects of ageing on wood, leather, and metal that create something unique over time. It’s one of my favourite things. I think patina is stunning, and it captures something true about being alive; that the story behind something actually adds to its character and value.

I’m really interested in your narrative and in helping you come to understand the truth of who you are and where you come from. I believe it makes you more interesting, more characterful, and ultimately, uniquely beautiful.

You’re valuable because of your story, not despite it.
