Why Collaborate With Us?

Track Record in Action

Collaborating with the Patterns Institute isn’t just about expertise in psychotherapy and research—it’s about creating fairer services for everyone, especially for those from vulnerable communities who are at higher risk of marginalisation. Learn how our thoughtful approaches lead to meaningful outcomes.

Our case studies highlight our core values—the 5Cs (we didn’t actually steal these from the NHS, promise): Community, Curiosity, Collaboration, Creativity, and Commitment. Whether it’s uncovering unexpected insights, turning around uncertain projects, or enhancing digital services, these stories reveal our process and the impact we’ve made. Explore how our expertise, driven by these values, translates into meaningful results, even in the most unpredictable situations.


1.

Community: Can Organisations Truly Be Trauma-Informed?

An NGO tests a trauma-informed organisational approach into every policy. Supervision and training ensure these principles become lived realities.


2.

Curiosity: Are Government Employees Measurable?

While researching government employees, we discovered a capacity scale. Though accidental, it showed promise in improving engagement with digital services.


3.

Collaboration: Should You Drop That Precious Policy?

Early research can prevent disaster. We can’t say much, but our work saved millions from flawed policies.


4.

Creativity: What If Your Policy Idea Wasn’t Great, But You Really Wanted It?

A shaky policy trial turned into a solid success thanks to perseverance and fine-tuning, proving that some ideas just need a bit of work.


5.

Commitment: Don’t Believe Us? Think We’re Just Nerds?

We’re nerds, but we’re serious. Our expertise led to two peer-reviewed books on psychotherapy and research. When it comes to facts, we back it up.


Still don’t believe us? That’s okay—we’re all about proving ourselves. If you’re curious or need more convincing, just reach out. We’re ready to share more details, provide references, or discuss how we can help you achieve your goals. Let’s chat, and we’ll show you how our collective wisdom can make a difference for you.
