About Patricia

Patricia O'Neill is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, addiction and depression. Patricia also supports those affected by trauma and abuse, and she offers practical help for low self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Patricia uses a straightforward, compassionate style in sessions. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk about difficult feelings without judgement.

Background and approach

Her work often centres on day-to-day coping skills and clearer ways to think about problems. Her background includes supporting people with post-traumatic stress linked to growing up during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. That personal and professional perspective informs her approach when people bring trauma-related concerns.

She has also worked with employees through workplace Employee Assistance Programmes, helping them manage work-related stress and life challenges. Patricia draws on Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise each person’s aims and experience. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, helping people notice patterns of thinking and try small changes that can ease distress.

Sessions tend to focus on practical steps and simple skills to use between meetings. She holds the NCPS credential and speaks English. Patricia offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, and she works with international clients.

The process to begin is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time to meet.

How Patricia’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre of every session. Patricia listens closely and follows what matters most to the individual, helping them identify goals and priorities. This approach is useful for people who need a calm space to speak and to feel heard.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Patricia uses CBT techniques to help people spot patterns that keep problems going and to try small practical changes. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, obsessions and unhelpful coping such as substance use.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Patricia will discuss goals and try different ways of working until a good fit is found. That collaborative process means the plan can change as needs and preferences become clearer.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from wherever works best, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel and to access support from different locations.
