About Patricia

Patricia White is a counsellor with twenty years of clinical experience who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and addictions. She also supports people dealing with relationship and family concerns, work issues, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. Patricia practises in the United Kingdom and works in English.

Patricia trained as an integrative therapist and later added study in trauma, cognitive behavioural therapy and motivational interviewing.

Background and approach

She is registered with NCPS, the National Counselling Society, and follows their code of ethics while taking monthly clinical supervision. In sessions she blends practical techniques with a person-led approach. She listens to what matters most, then uses tools from different therapies to meet those needs.

That might mean focusing on patterns of thinking, drawing out personal strengths, or working through traumatic memories at a pace the client can manage. Patricia aims to build an honest, steady relationship that supports change. She helps people identify what keeps problems going and sets small, manageable goals to shift them.

Her style is straightforward and compassionate, with an emphasis on real steps clients can try between sessions. People who choose her often want a therapist who combines trauma-aware methods with clear, goal-focused work. She encourages clients to use their own resilience and to take the lead in deciding what they want to change.

If this approach feels right, she asks people to begin with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Patricia commonly draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to help clients process distressing events and reduce the impact of past harm. This approach involves working through memories and reactions at a manageable pace and can help with post-traumatic stress, panic and other trauma-related symptoms.

She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on understanding the person's experience and building a trusting relationship. This method helps people feel heard and supported while they clarify goals and make decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, appears often in her work to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioural changes that reduce anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss options and agree a plan that fits your needs and preferences. Methods can be combined and adjusted as progress is reviewed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit lower bandwidth or shorter check-ins, live chat allows quick exchanges and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or other commitments and to keep contact consistent over time.
