The name Tír na nÓg Therapy – Conscious Centered Living emerged from Patrice's personal journey of exploring identity, heritage, and belonging. Born in Jamaica and later settling in the United Kingdom, Patrice's heritage reflects both Irish and Jamaican roots. While researching her family history, particularly on her father's side, she began to notice unexpected connections between her Jamaican ancestry and Ireland. These discoveries deepened her appreciation for the often-unseen connections that shape our lives. This experience reinforced a belief that remains central to Patrice's therapeutic approach: Beneath apparent external differences such as colour, nationality, or gender lie deeper connections rooted in shared history, values, beliefs, meaning, and common human experience. It is often these deeper connections—hidden beneath the surface and easily overlooked by assumptions and unconscious biases—that open the door to deeper understanding, healing, and self-discovery. The practice itself was established in Ireland and named after her home, Tír na nÓg. In Irish mythology, Tír na nÓg is associated with transformation, wisdom, and the search for meaning. The name felt like a natural reflection of Patrice's personal journey and the values that would later shape her work. The term "Conscious Centered Living" reflects Patrice's ongoing doctoral studies specialising in Conscious Centered Living. Patrice Elliott has over 10 years of professional experience and is a qualified Clinical Counsellor with CPCAB, one of the leading institutions in counselling and psychotherapy. She has also received bereavement counselling training through Cruse Bereavement Care. Through her work within counselling agencies, GP practices, and referrals from social services, Patrice recognised that many traditional approaches to mental health focused heavily on symptoms while overlooking important aspects of the whole person, including beliefs, relationships, culture, values, spirituality, and personal meaning. These experiences ultimately set her on a path towards developing a more holistic and integrative approach. Prior to training as a counsellor, Patrice studied exercise & fitness and nutrition. She later pursued advanced studies in Metaphysics, earning both Bachelor's and Master's degrees through the University of Metaphysics and the University of Macedonia. Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy that explores the fundamental nature of reality, existence, and the universe. Drawing on over two decades of study, professional practice, and independent research in nutrition, fitness, counselling, psychology, neuroscience research, philosophy, and consciousness studies, Patrice developed her own Meta-Psychotherapy framework—a holistic and integrative approach that recognises the interconnected nature of mind, body, and soul.
