How Patricia works
She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, intimacy-related issues, parenting stresses and the impact of trauma or abuse.

Sessions are shaped around each person's needs, using practical tools and gentle exploration.
The work can include noticing patterns, learning coping skills and testing new ways of responding.

Online support options
How attachment work and CBT fit into online therapy
Patricia uses Attachment-Based ideas and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to guide online sessions. Attachment-informed work looks at how early patterns of relating can shape current reactions and relationship difficulties, helping people notice and change repeating patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers concrete skills to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how someone responds to different ways of working. Together they decide which methods to try and review progress as therapy continues.
Online appointments are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit in. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to find a format that suits day-to-day life.
