About Patricia
Patricia Robbins is a counsellor who brings 18 years of experience to therapy work. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and offers a calm, non-judgemental approach. People meet her for practical help with stress, anxiety, depression and addiction.
She also supports those facing trauma, ADHD, autism and relationship concerns. Her style is warm and collaborative. Sessions focus on personal autonomy and building skills that match each person’s life.
Conversations are straightforward and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.
How Patricia works
The aim is to help people make choices that feel right for them. Patricia blends several therapeutic approaches to suit individual needs. She draws on cognitive-behavioural techniques to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
She also uses client-centred ways of listening and attachment-informed ideas to strengthen relationships and emotional safety. Clients might work on coping with grief, improving sleep and eating patterns, managing anger, or handling career and parenting pressures. Additional concerns addressed include body image, chronic illness and stress related to caregiving.
Work can range from short-term coping strategies to longer conversations about past trauma. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. Therapy is arranged via online formats and telephone.
People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and booking a session according to available times.

Online support options
How different therapy methods work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them drive every choice. It encourages clarifying personal values and taking small actions that reflect those values, which can help with anxiety, depression and life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and replacing them with more helpful habits. It often uses structured exercises and homework to tackle issues like sleep, low mood, worry and certain eating concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor collaborates with each person to choose and adapt methods that fit their goals and preferences. That shared decision-making means therapy can change as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and styles. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat options are a good fit for shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These choices make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work consistently when travel or timing is difficult.
