About Patricia

Patricia Robbins is a counsellor with 18 years' experience in the therapeutic field. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and works from a pluralistic, client-led stance. Patricia aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what is worrying them and find practical steps forward.

Her sessions focus on helping people build autonomy and resilience. She draws on cognitive-behavioural tools to tackle unhelpful thinking patterns and uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how early relationships shape current feelings. She also brings a person-centred emphasis, putting the client's experience at the heart of each session.

Patricia has supported people with a wide range of concerns. These include anxiety, depression, addictions, low self-esteem, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, and work stress. She also works with issues such as chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image, codependency and coping with major life changes.

In practice Patricia adapts the sessions to each person. Conversations are tailored and practical tools are offered when helpful. The pace and focus are set by the client's goals, and she encourages collaboration on any treatment plan.

Patricia welcomes clients in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients who wish to work in English. If you are thinking about starting therapy she asks that you consider what you hope to change and be ready to take small steps between sessions.

Approaches that guide online work

Patricia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT works well for anxiety, stress and when life feels stuck. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence current patterns, which can help with intimacy issues and attachment concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Patricia collaborates with each person to find methods that suit their needs, goals and preferences. Together they will try techniques, review what helps, and adjust the focus as progress is made.

The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session would be hard to schedule. It can also make it simpler to use written exercises or screen-shared worksheets during a meeting. When considering online work, think about the kinds of moments you want to work on and discuss practical arrangements with the therapist during your first session.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
