Patricia Robbins
Experienced, collaborative counsellor for practical change
About Patricia
Patricia Robbins brings 18 years of experience in counselling and psychotherapy. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP, and also holds NCPS. Patricia offers a calm, warm approach that focuses on helping people feel more in control of their lives.
Her work tends to be collaborative and tailored to the individual. She listens first, then helps people set clear goals. Sessions aim to build autonomy and boost confidence rather than rely on labels or judgement.
Background and approach
Patricia mixes practical thinking tools with deeper exploration of feelings and relationships. She draws from cognitive behavioural ideas to tackle unhelpful thoughts and from attachment-informed ways of looking at patterns with others. Dialectical and client-centred elements shape how she holds strong emotions and personal values.
People come to her for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, ADHD, trauma, grief and relationship concerns. She also supports those dealing with body image, parenting strain, chronic illness and workplace stress. Her approach adapts to the concern and the person in front of her.
Sessions are designed to be straightforward and focused. Patricia helps people learn skills to cope day to day and to change long-standing patterns when they are ready. The emphasis is on practical steps and steady progress.
If someone is thinking about therapy, Patricia aims to make the first steps manageable. She works at a pace set by the person, offering support and clear options so they can move toward a more comfortable life.

How Patricia's approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then suggest ways of working together. That choice is collaborative and can shift as therapy progresses.
Online sessions can be delivered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are close to face-to-face conversations, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can feel quicker for short check-ins, and messaging lets someone reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family or travel while keeping the focus on the therapeutic work.
