Patricia Nisbett, BACP

Patricia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical coping and recovery. One common approach helps people process grief and loss by breaking down overwhelming tasks into manageable steps and building routines that support day-to-day functioning. Another approach concentrates on trauma-informed work, helping people name what happened, reduce its immediate emotional impact, and develop ways to manage triggers and distress.

Finding the right way of working is part of the therapy process. Patricia collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs and preferences, and she adjusts the approach as progress is made. Clients are involved in deciding which techniques feel most helpful and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people juggling busy lives or limited travel options. Video calls provide a face-to-face feel for deeper conversation, phone sessions suit those with lower bandwidth or a need for a shorter check-in, and live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief updates or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to fit sessions around work, shifts or caregiving commitments and to continue therapy when circumstances change.
