Therapist · Author · Clinical Leader
Helping people find their way back to safety, trust, and themselves.
Patrycja (Patricia) Toczek is a therapist, published author, and clinical leader working at the intersection of trauma recovery, mental health, and public education through her private practice, her writing, and her speaking.
Welcome
One person. Many rooms. One purpose.
Patrycja (Patricia) works as a clinical leader inside large health services, as a therapist in her own private practice, as an author, and as a speaker and trainer. From the outside, they can look like separate careers. They are not.
Every one of those rooms serves the same purpose: helping people understand what happened to them, reducing the shame that keeps them silent, and giving them practical ways to move forward. Whether that happens across a therapy room, a lecture theatre, or the pages of a book makes very little difference to the work itself.

Published Author
CryptoQueen: You Are a Mark, a first-hand account of manipulation, and a warning written for everyone.

THE BOOK
Her Story. Her Warning. Her Book.
CryptoQueen: You Are a Mark is Patricia’s account of how sophisticated financial deception works, and why it succeeds. Written from both a personal and a clinical perspective, it moves past the shame that keeps victims silent and looks squarely at the psychology of manipulation: the trust, the timing, and the very human needs that scammers exploit.
Private Practice
A Space to Be Heard, Without Judgment
In her private practice, Patricia works with individuals, couples and families through trauma, anxiety, relationship difficulty and periods of upheaval. Sessions are unhurried and collaborative, no scripts, no pathologising, and no expectation that you arrive with the right words.
The first step is a free 15-minute conversation, no commitment, simply a chance to see whether working together feels right. In-person and online appointments are available.
