Patricia White is a counsellor with 20 years of professional experience who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and depression. She supports people facing life changes, addiction, workplace difficulties and low self-esteem.

Background and approach
Patricia combines ideas from different methods to meet each person’s needs. This flexible mix is used to build a trusting relationship and decide what will help most. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual.
Patricia listens first and then suggests small, achievable changes. She encourages people to notice what already works for them and to build on existing strengths. Patricia is registered with the National Counselling Society, NCPS, which is noted on her profile.
She attends regular clinical supervision as part of her professional practice. Her work includes helping people affected by post-traumatic stress and panic as well as social anxiety and isolation. People who choose her often want clear, practical tools alongside emotional support.
Patricia aims to create a steady space to talk through difficult events and to plan realistic steps forward. If the approach fits, she guides people toward goals they choose for themselves.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Patricia uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, panic and low mood because it breaks issues into clear steps that can be worked on between sessions.She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of past harm. This approach focuses on understanding how traumatic experiences affect daily life and then gently building new ways to cope and feel safer in day-to-day situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will discuss options with each person and agree together which methods to try first. The choice is guided by what the person hopes to change, their preferences and how they respond as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls mirror in-person conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works well for short check-ins and messaging lets people send notes between meetings. These options help fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments and make regular contact easier to maintain.
