Patricia (Trish) Igoe, BACP

Patricia (Trish) Igoe is a BACP registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom with over ten years of professional experience. She combines training in person-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), compassion-focused approaches and mindfulness techniques to offer care tailored to each person's needs. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and denotes recognised professional membership in the UK.

Her practice focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship difficulties, as well as supporting those working on motivation, self-esteem, sexuality and confidence. This mix of approaches allows her to draw on practical skills, emotional exploration and compassionate strategies so clients can address immediate problems and build longer-term coping resources.

Patricia works collaboratively with clients to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored. She recognises that taking the first step toward change takes courage and offers steady support to help people set goals, work through challenges and move toward a more satisfying life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Patricia uses a blend of well established therapies adapted to online work. Client-centred therapy focuses on the individual's experience and emphasizes empathy, active listening and collaboration to help clients explore values, identity and relationships. This approach suits people seeking deeper self-understanding and support through life transitions.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) teaches practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress management. Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance and improved interpersonal effectiveness, often helping those dealing with intense emotions or difficulties in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Patricia works collaboratively with clients to identify the methods that best match their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting direction as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - so people can access support from home or between commitments. These options make scheduling easier and help maintain continuity of care when life is busy, while allowing registered professionals to provide consistent, evidence-informed support.
