Patricia Robbins

Patricia Robbins has worked in therapy for 18 years and brings a pluralistic, person-focused approach to her practice. She is an accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, listed as NCPS, and also holds BACP. Patricia aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can feel respected and heard.

Her style mixes practical talking therapy with psychological techniques. Conversations are tailored to each person rather than following a fixed script. Sessions focus on building autonomy and practical steps the person can use between meetings.

Patricia has supported people with a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep and eating difficulties, and career worries. She also works with people navigating chronic illness, caregiver strain, and neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome.

Therapy draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques, attachment-aware work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centred listening, and skills from dialectical behaviour work. Patricia adapts methods to fit each person’s needs and goals rather than applying one rigid model.

If someone is wondering whether therapy could help, Patricia offers collaborative sessions that prioritise clear goals and steady progress. She focuses on practical coping tools, clearer communication, and rebuilding confidence. The first steps are simple: choose to begin and Patricia will help map a plan together.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behaviour and trying small experiments to change them. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep and eating difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will talk with the person about goals and preferences and then agree a way forward together. That may mean blending methods so the sessions match what feels most helpful in practice.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote or online therapy helps fit meetings into busy lives, makes it easier to have shorter check-ins, or avoids travel time. Online work can let someone use written or verbal techniques between sessions and practise new skills in daily routines.
