About Patrick
Patrick Lyttle is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and relationship strain. He works with adults to address self‑esteem, career worries and life changes. Patrick describes a clear, thoughtful style and aims to help clients make changes that improve day‑to‑day life.
He uses psychodynamic ideas to look at current problems alongside a person's life history. That means sessions often consider how past experiences shape present reactions. He also draws on attachment-based and mindfulness approaches when helpful to the person.
Background and approach
Patrick has around 20 years of experience, including work in organisational settings and independent practice. His background includes training at Kings College London and the University of Oxford. He holds NCPS, a professional credential provided in the biography.
In practice he helps people talk through work pressure, mood concerns and difficult relationships. He also supports those coping with commitment worries, attachment issues or the effects of narcissistic behaviour. Sessions aim to be practical, focusing on what changes a person can try between meetings.
People usually find that therapy is a chance to notice repeating patterns, try new ways of responding and build steadier day‑to‑day coping. Patrick takes a collaborative approach and works at a pace suited to each person’s needs.
How his approaches work online
Patrick draws on psychodynamic therapy to help people understand how early experiences influence current patterns. That approach looks at recurring themes and emotional responses to help people gain clearer self‑awareness and make different choices.He also uses attachment-based ideas to explore how relationships shape feelings of safety and trust. This can be useful for people dealing with abandonment worries, commitment concerns or unstable relationship patterns. Mindfulness practices are introduced to help with anxiety and stress by teaching simple ways to notice thoughts and calm the body.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Patrick will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and day‑to‑day challenges, and together they will decide which methods to try. He adapts the work over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls recreate a face‑to‑face conversation when possible. Phone sessions work well if someone has limited bandwidth or prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text‑based messaging allow shorter check‑ins, quick reflections between sessions and greater flexibility around work or family commitments. Many registered or accredited professionals use these formats to make therapy more accessible without changing the core therapeutic work.
