Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and focused on what matters to the individual. Patricia uses a collaborative style that aims to build trust and clear goals together. Her approach blends client-centred listening with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and motivational interviewing.
Trauma-focused work is included when needed to address distress linked to past events. Patricia adapts the pace and tools to the person’s readiness and goals. In sessions she helps people identify patterns, try new ways of coping and set small, achievable steps.
She pays attention to attachment, abandonment and control issues when these come up. Practical problem solving and short-term solution-focused ideas are brought in to tackle immediate pressures. Patricia’s background includes work with people affected by trauma and conflict, and she brings two decades of experience to each conversation.
She encourages people to notice their strengths and to use those strengths to move forward. If someone wants a calm, steady guide while they work through difficult feelings, Patricia offers that steady support.

Therapeutic approaches online and how they help
Patricia often uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and understanding your view of things. This approach helps people feel heard and builds a trusting relationship before practical work begins.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, panic and low mood. Motivational interviewing is used when people need help finding their own reasons to change, for example with addictions or shifting unhelpful habits.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will discuss options and decide together which methods best match your needs, goals and preferences. That teamwork helps shape the pace and focus of sessions so you can try things out and adjust as needed.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing encouragement or when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it easier to keep continuity and maintain momentum between sessions.
