About Patricia
Patricia Robbins is a counsellor with 18 years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She offers a warm, integrative style and aims to work alongside people so they feel heard and more in control. She uses a blend of approaches to match each person's needs rather than offering one fixed method.
Her work often focuses on common and pressing concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression and issues around self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with addiction, ADHD, autism and the aftermath of trauma or abuse.
Background and approach
Practical problems such as sleeping or eating difficulties, anger and career worries are included in her caseload. Patricia draws on a range of methods including existential ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and client-centred work. She pays attention to attachment patterns and to how values and meaning shape choices.
Sessions are shaped together so the work stays relevant to real life problems. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has spent nearly two decades in therapeutic roles. That background informs a straightforward, respectful approach and a willingness to adapt to different needs.
People who prefer a collaborative conversation and clear, down-to-earth steps may find this style helpful. Patricia encourages autonomy, aims to reduce stigma and focuses on practical changes that fit each person's situation.

Online support
How different approaches work in online therapy
Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice and personal values. It helps people who feel stuck, confused about identity, or unsure what matters to them by focusing on what gives life purpose and what choices are available.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, combines mindfulness with practical steps. It helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then take actions that match their values. That can suit worries, low mood or ongoing stress.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships affect current patterns. It can be useful when difficulties show up in close relationships or in how someone handles trust and emotional closeness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video is helpful for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can fit short check-ins or days when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to arrange therapy around work, family or travel commitments.
