About Patricia
Patricia Robbins is a BACP and NCPS registered counsellor with 18 years' experience. She offers a warm, flexible approach that aims to help people feel more in control. Her style focuses on listening, respect and helping clients find practical steps forward.
Patricia works in a collaborative way. She tailors conversations and plans to each person's needs. Expect straightforward talk, gentle challenge and practical ideas you can try between sessions.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns including stress and anxiety, depression, addictions and self-esteem.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and those managing ADHD, autism or long-term health challenges. Patricia uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot patterns and try new behaviours, client-centred listening to help people feel heard, and attachment-based ideas to make sense of close relationships.
She adapts the blend to what helps most in each case. She accepts clients from the United Kingdom and internationally, and runs sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Sessions are offered via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary by location and therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting pushed around by them and then take actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and coping with painful feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to test and change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then agree a plan together. The choice of approach can change over time as needs shift and progress is reviewed, so the process stays collaborative.
Online therapy offers flexibility around work, childcare and travel. Video calls let you use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving between sessions, or people who find writing easier than speaking. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists using ACT and CBT, can adapt these formats to provide practical support and skills you can use day to day.
