About Patricia

Patricia Robbins is a counsellor with 18 years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She practices in a warm, collaborative way and aims to help people feel heard and understood. Patricia values autonomy and seeks to empower people to make choices that suit their lives.

Her background combines several approaches so conversations and exercises are tailored to each person. She draws on cognitive-behavioural methods to help change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses client-centred principles to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly.

Patricia has worked with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, ADHD, grief and anger. She also supports people dealing with trauma, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain and body-image problems. Additional focuses include attachment issues, blended family challenges and chronic illness or pain.

Her style is integrative and adaptive. Sessions typically combine practical techniques with reflective dialogue so people can try different strategies and choose what feels useful. Patricia avoids labels that stigmatise and adapts the pace to each person’s needs.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. Patricia accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To begin, readers are invited to use the Start Therapy flow on the site to match and schedule a session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Patricia draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy among other methods. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it supports making values-based choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and teaches practical skills for managing mood, anxiety or anger.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Patricia aims to decide collaboratively which methods suit each person’s goals and situation. She will listen to what matters to the client, try tools in session, and adapt the plan as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a workday. It also means people can continue therapy when relocation or travel would otherwise interrupt it. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find these practical benefits help clients maintain steady progress without changing life routines.
