Patrick Lyttle

Patrick Lyttle offers straightforward, calm support for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck. He helps with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self‑esteem, career direction and coping with big life changes. Patrick is listed with a focus on narcissism among other concerns and aims to make sessions practical and understandable for someone under pressure.

He uses a psychodynamic approach to look at present problems alongside life history and past experiences. This helps people see patterns that keep repeating and consider different ways of responding. He also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how close relationships affect feelings and behaviour.

Patrick has two decades of experience working with adults in organisations and private practice. He holds NCPS, which is shown as his professional credential, and completed training at King’s College London and the University of Oxford. He brings workplace experience together with clinical practice to address both job-related and personal concerns.

In sessions he talks things through at a steady pace and focuses on what changes would be most helpful. He supports people to build coping skills, strengthen self‑worth and make clearer choices about work and relationships. The overall aim is practical change that improves day-to-day life.

People choosing to work with him can expect calm listening and exploratory conversation. He encourages small steps and regular review so that therapy stays relevant to immediate goals and longer-term growth.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Patrick uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current feelings and relationships. Online sessions can provide space to notice repeating patterns and try different responses with the counsellor's help.

He also draws on attachment-based therapy to explore how close relationships affect emotional life. This approach focuses on understanding connection styles and building more secure ways of relating, which can be worked through in conversational online sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patrick will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will choose which methods to try. That collaborative decision shapes how sessions are organised and what is practiced between meetings.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to maintain continuity, have shorter check-ins when needed and balance therapy with work and family commitments.
