About Patricia
Patricia (Trish) Igoe helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, low self-esteem and career worries. She is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom and speaks English. Her manner is calm and direct, aimed at making conversations feel straightforward and manageable.
Trish draws on about ten years of experience to tailor sessions to what each person needs. She uses practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy alongside emotion-focused and attachment-informed ways of working.
How Patricia works
Sessions focus on small, doable steps and clearer patterns of thinking and feeling. People see her for a wide range of concerns including abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, communication problems and infidelity. She also supports those dealing with ageing and geriatric issues, cancer-related distress, drug and alcohol problems, guilt and shame, isolation and jealousy.
Work can address control issues, commitment worries and the fallout from domestic violence. Her style emphasises listening first and then trying out strategies together. That might mean experimenting with new communication habits, learning ways to manage strong emotions, or changing unhelpful thinking patterns.
Trish aims to make each session practical and focused on what matters to the person sitting opposite her. Starting therapy with her involves thinking about goals and testing what helps over a few meetings. She encourages honest feedback and adjusts the plan as things change, so the approach stays relevant to what people want to achieve.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early connection patterns affect current relationships and emotional reactions; it helps people understand why they respond the way they do and find safer ways to relate. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting; a counsellor offers acceptance and gentle guidance so the person can discover what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) examines unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and teaches practical skills to reduce distress and solve specific problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the journey. The counsellor will talk through goals and preferences and suggest methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.
Online therapy is offered using video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video sessions are useful for a more conversational, face-to-face feel, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and suit quick check-ins. Live chat and messaging allow shorter, flexible contact for brief reflections or support between longer sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, caring duties and travel, while keeping focus on the same therapeutic goals as in-person work.
