About Patricia
Patricia Robbins is a counsellor with 18 years' experience supporting people through a wide range of difficulties. She works in the United Kingdom and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. Her style is warm and collaborative and she aims to help people feel more in control of their lives.
Patricia uses a pluralistic, integrative approach that draws on cognitive-behavioural, humanistic and psychodynamic ideas. She adapts conversations and plans to each person’s needs rather than following a single method.
Background and approach
That means practical techniques and reflective discussion can be used together, depending on what helps. People come to Patricia for help with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and low self-esteem. She also supports those affected by trauma and abuse, and those navigating neurodiversity or ADHD.
Other concerns she addresses include sleep and eating issues, grief, relationship and intimacy problems, career stress and coping with major life changes. Sessions are centred on respect, sensitivity and reducing stigma. Patricia emphasises autonomy and empowerment so people can make their own choices about change.
Conversations are straightforward and focused on small, achievable steps as well as longer-term goals. If someone is ready to begin, Patricia encourages a practical first step. She will work alongside the person to tailor a plan and adjust the approach as needs change.
Her aim is to support people toward more manageable day-to-day living and clearer direction for the future.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and to focus on actions that match their values. It can aid stress, anxiety, depression and life changes by encouraging practical commitment to small, meaningful steps.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and compulsive behaviours.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Patricia will listen to what matters to the person, discuss different ways of working, and agree a plan that fits their goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can change as progress is made and needs evolve.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging gives practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging helps people reflect in writing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on what helps most.
