About Patricia
Patricia White helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and life changes. She commonly supports those struggling with addictions, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, work issues and compassion fatigue. Patricia works in a direct and calm way so people can talk about what feels hard to say.
Patricia draws on 20 years of professional experience to shape each session around the individual. She holds NCPS, which stands for The National Counselling Society registration, and uses what fits for the person rather than one fixed method.
How Patricia works
Her style blends client-centred listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioural approaches. Sessions often include clear steps to manage difficult thoughts and feelings, and small aims to work towards between meetings. Trauma-focused techniques are used when past hurts continue to affect day-to-day life.
Motivational interviewing helps people who are unsure about change or who are dealing with addictive behaviour. Patricia aims to build a straightforward, honest relationship with each person. She encourages clients to identify what matters to them and to use their strengths in making changes.
The focus is on steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.

Online support options
How these approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and working at the client’s pace. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can make sense of feelings and choices, which suits issues like low self-esteem, grief and life direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking and replace it with practical steps. It is often used for anxiety, panic, depression and workplace stress because sessions set clear exercises and goals. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Patricia will discuss different ways of working and help decide which fits a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That choice is made collaboratively and can change as therapy progresses. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from anywhere in the UK. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break or a quieter moment. Live chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options aim to make therapy flexible and more accessible while keeping the focus on practical steps, steady progress and a trusting therapeutic relationship.Start online instead of waiting
