About Patricia
Patricia Robbins is a counsellor with 18 years of practice who focuses on helping people find clearer ways forward. She practises from the United Kingdom and brings a warm, collaborative style to sessions. Patricia holds BACP and NCPS credentials and works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, addictions and phobias.
Her approach is pluralistic and integrative. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas alongside client-centred and attachment-informed ways of working.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around the person in front of her rather than a fixed programme. Patricia aims to help people feel heard and more able to make choices that suit their lives. In practical terms she will help you notice unhelpful thinking patterns, try small behaviour changes and strengthen coping skills.
Conversations often focus on what matters most to you and on skills you can use between sessions. The tone is direct but compassionate, with an emphasis on building autonomy and self-respect. Patricia has worked with people facing trauma, relationship strain, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting stress and long-term health problems.
She also supports people with neurodiversity-related concerns such as autism and ADHD. Her work includes helping people manage career stress, compassion fatigue and life transitions. If you are considering therapy she asks for a first step of a short matching questionnaire and a follow-up scheduling choice.
That process helps match practical needs to the right style of support.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take actions that matter, even when thoughts or feelings are uncomfortable; it is useful for anxiety, chronic worry and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing changes in behaviour and routines, which helps with depression, panic and phobias.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will discuss goals and try methods that match your needs and preferences. That makes therapy a collaborative process where the approach can shift as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let you send notes or short updates between longer sessions and can be used for flexible, ongoing support.
