About Patricia
Patricia O'Neill is a counsellor with 15 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She uses a warm, straightforward style to help people manage stress, anxiety and addiction. Patricia aims to make the first steps towards change feel manageable and clear.
She draws on client-centred counselling to listen closely to each person's experience. That approach helps people feel heard while they sort through difficult thoughts and emotions. Patricia also uses cognitive behavioural therapy to break unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical coping skills.

She has also worked within workplace Employee Assistance Programmes, helping people balance job pressures alongside personal concerns.

She also supports people dealing with chronic pain, addiction, co-morbidity and isolation. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps and compassionate listening.

Approaches that guide online work
Patricia combines client-centred counselling with cognitive behavioural work to support people online. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and understanding so clients feel respected while they talk through worries and past hurts. Cognitive behavioural therapy offers clear tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and practise new behaviours that reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Patricia will work together with each person to decide whether listening-led work, skill-building CBT, or a blend suits their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts the method as progress is made so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer written communication or want flexible, on-the-go support. These options help people access counselling from different places while keeping sessions workable around work and family commitments.
