About Patrick
Patrick Lyttle offers straightforward support for people feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward. He focuses on practical change so people can improve day-to-day life and relationships. Patrick writes plainly and works to make sessions easy to follow for worried parents reading on a phone.
Patrick uses a psychodynamic lens to look at current problems alongside life history and past experiences. That helps identify patterns that keep causing the same difficulties.
How Patrick works
He also draws on attachment-informed ideas and mindfulness to help people notice feelings and try new ways of relating to others. He has two decades of experience across organisational settings and independent practice. That background means he is used to workplace pressures and the effects they have on mood, motivation and self-esteem.
He supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and career-related strain. Common areas Patrick addresses include relationship and commitment concerns, abandonment and attachment issues, control and avoidant personality patterns, and questions about life purpose. He also works with mood disorders, narcissism-related dynamics and workplace problems.
Patrick holds NCPS, which is shown as a professional credential. He trained at Kings College London and the University of Oxford. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people inside and outside the United Kingdom.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people notice patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current reactions. Online sessions can be used to practise noticing triggers and trying new responses in everyday life. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness skills to reduce overwhelm and improve focus on the present moment. These techniques suit people managing anxiety, stress and mood changes and can be practised during or between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which mix of psychodynamic reflection, attachment focus and mindfulness practices fits their goals and preferences. That collaborative choice aims to match methods to what a person needs now and what they hope to change over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, written reflection and ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
