About Patricia
Patricia is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and holds a BA (Hons) in Counselling. She brings three years of practice to each appointment and keeps the work straightforward and humane. Sessions are designed to be a space where the person can be heard and noticed without judgement.
Her way of working is person-centred and integrative. That means she listens first, then blends approaches to suit the individual. Conversations might look at how thoughts affect feelings, include simple mindfulness exercises, and invite kinder ways of relating to oneself.
Parents and carers often explore pressure, isolation and caregiver stress in her sessions. Patricia also supports people facing attachment concerns, issues linked to intellectual disability, hoarding, and problems that follow loss or domestic violence. The focus is on practical steps and small shifts that make everyday life easier.
Sessions move at the client’s pace and emphasise building self-compassion and practical coping tools. If someone is ready to begin, Patricia asks them to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a time that suits them.

Step 3
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Person-centred work focuses on the relationship and listening. Online sessions keep that emphasis by creating a steady, respectful space where the person leads the conversation and the counsellor reflects and responds. This approach helps when someone needs to talk through stress, low mood or relationship worries.Mindfulness techniques are simple exercises you can learn and practise in short moments. Online sessions often guide breathing, grounding or brief awareness exercises that help reduce overwhelm and calm anxiety. Thought-focused work looks at how unhelpful thinking affects mood and offers practical steps to make thinking less distressing.
Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. The counsellor will discuss options with the client and try techniques gently to see what fits. Together they adjust pace, focus and methods to match the person's goals and everyday life demands.
The biography does not list the exact session formats offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. It can also let people use shorter or more flexible sessions when that suits their routine.
