Patricia draws on cognitive-behavioural, humanistic, and psychodynamic ideas to shape conversations and bespoke treatment plans that meet individual needs.

With 18 years of professional experience, Patricia has supported people dealing with depression, anxiety, low self esteem and confidence, addiction, autism, ADHD, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Her practice is centred on tailoring approaches to the unique circumstances of each client, and she prioritises creating an environment where clients feel heard and understood.

Patricia holds BACP and NCPS credentials, signifying membership of recognised professional counselling bodies and a commitment to ongoing professional standards. Seeking therapy can be a courageous step toward a more contented life, and Patricia aims to support and empower clients as they explore change. She welcomes the opportunity to work with new clients and to help them move toward their goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Patricia integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into her work to help clients clarify personal values and develop practical strategies for living a meaningful life even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and ongoing coping challenges.

Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore patterns in relationships and early experiences that influence current emotional responses and interpersonal dynamics. This approach can help people working through trust, intimacy, and attachment-related difficulties.

Patricia also employs Client-Centered Therapy principles, offering a compassionate, non-directive space where clients lead the pace and focus of sessions. This approach supports self-exploration and strengthens autonomy and self-worth.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Patricia works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors plans as those needs evolve.

Online therapy with Patricia is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit therapy into varied schedules and life circumstances. These options increase accessibility for people who live abroad, have mobility constraints, or require more adaptable session formats while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship with a registered professional.
