About Patricia
Patricia Robbins is a counsellor with 18 years' experience. She works in the United Kingdom and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. Patricia offers a warm, person-focused way of working that aims to help people feel heard and regain control over stressful parts of life.
Her style is collaborative and practical. Sessions focus on what matters to the person sitting opposite her. She tailors conversations and tools to the individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
That means talking through immediate problems and trying small changes between sessions. Patricia draws on several recognised approaches to shape her work. She uses ideas from cognitive behavioural approaches to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Attachment-based ideas guide work on close relationships and how early experiences affect current patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas are used to help people notice what matters to them and take committed steps towards those values. She also uses client-centred listening to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person leads the pace and focus.
Patricia has helped people with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and self-esteem concerns. She also has experience with ADHD, autism and trauma-related issues. Her practice covers many life challenges including grief, parenting stress, career upset and coping with major changes.
People can expect a supportive, flexible approach that focuses on practical ways to manage daily life. Patricia aims to empower people to make choices that fit their values and situation.

Approaches that guide online work and what to expect
Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. It helps when connection, trust or recurring relationship patterns are part of the problem. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep and day-to-day coping.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Patricia will talk with the person about goals, needs and preferences and then choose methods together. That means the plan can change as understanding grows and priorities shift, keeping the work collaborative and responsive.
Online work is offered via video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging so sessions fit around daily life. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and messaging can be useful for ongoing support or brief reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy going when routines are busy or when travel is difficult.
