About Patricia
Patricia Thomas is a counsellor with 25 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety. She also supports those managing relationship strain, grief, depression and the aftermath of trauma and abuse.
Patricia believes clients know their own stories and that they already hold strengths to draw on. She offers a calm, respectful space to talk things through and to try new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to help people understand patterns and make choices that fit their life. Her approach is grounded in familiar, practical methods. She often uses a client-centred stance to listen closely and build collaboration.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas help when strong emotions or attachment worries are driving a repeating problem. Patricia also uses existential and solution-focused perspectives to tackle meaning and action. Existential work can help people facing big life questions, while solution-focused work targets small, achievable changes.
Together these approaches create room for both feeling and doing. People can expect straightforward conversation, gentle challenge, and support to try new steps between sessions. She works with concerns such as eating and body image, parenting pressures, anger, shame, intimacy-related issues, codependency and communication problems.
Patricia conducts sessions in English and practises across several online formats.
How Patricia’s approaches work online
Patricia draws on client-centred work and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own solutions, which suits worries like anxiety and low self-esteem. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at patterns in emotional responses and attachment concerns, which is useful for relationship tension and deep feelings that repeat.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Patricia will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where objectives are set together and reviewed as things change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help therapy fit around work, childcare and other commitments while keeping conversation focused and actionable.
