About Patricia
Patricia Robbins is a counsellor with 18 years of experience. She works from a pluralistic, client-focused stance and aims to help people feel understood and respected. Patricia holds BACP and NCPS registration and practices in the United Kingdom.
Her style is warm and collaborative. She listens first and then tailors sessions to each person's needs. Conversations are straightforward and practical, aimed at increasing choice and improving day-to-day coping.
Patricia helps people address many concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
She also supports people with self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, eating and sleeping problems, and neurodiverse needs such as ADHD and autism. Complex presentations and co-morbidity are also within her experience. Her work draws on a blend of approaches.
She uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and to build new skills. Attachment-based thinking helps explore how past relationships shape current patterns. Client-centred and trauma-focused perspectives guide how she responds in the room.
Sessions aim to boost autonomy and practical coping rather than labels. Patricia helps people set realistic goals and practises techniques together in session. She also supports coping with life changes, career strain, caregiver stress and compassion fatigue.
If someone is ready to begin, she asks them to complete an initial matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. International clients may work with her and sessions are delivered in English.

Working with therapeutic approaches online
Patricia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice the thoughts and feelings that get in the way of values-based living. ACT focuses on small, practical steps so people can act in ways that match what matters to them.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence current bonds and patterns. This approach helps people understand repeating dynamics and try new ways of relating. Trauma-Focused Therapy is part of her practice when people have experienced abuse or other traumatic events; it helps process difficult memories and reduce the way those memories control everyday life.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Patricia will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs and preferences, and she adapts plans as progress is made. Conversations are collaborative and paced around what each person can manage.
Online therapy with her uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video sessions suit deeper, face-to-face conversation, phone can work for audio-only talks, live chat is handy for shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
