About Patricia
Patricia Robbins is a psychotherapist with 18 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. Patricia adopts a warm, collaborative way of working that aims to help people feel heard and respected.
Her sessions are client-focused and adapt to what each person needs. Patricia uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method.
Background and approach
She listens first, then shapes conversation and tools around the issues that matter to the individual. Patricia supports people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and self-esteem struggles. She also offers help for concerns such as trauma, grief, relationship strains, bipolar and neurodiversity issues like ADHD and autism.
Practical coping and small, steady changes are common themes in her work. Her style draws on cognitive-behavioural ideas alongside humanistic and attachment-informed ways of talking. Patricia aims to balance thought-focused techniques with attention to emotions and relationship patterns.
Sessions focus on what is useful now while keeping longer-term goals in view. People often come wanting clearer boundaries, better day-to-day coping, or relief from repeated patterns. Patricia works to build personal autonomy and to reduce shame and stigma around difficult experiences.
She encourages gradual changes that fit into everyday life rather than large, sudden shifts.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Patricia will discuss options, try techniques and adjust plans based on the person’s goals and preferences. The choice of method is collaborative and can change as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video can support face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone can work when internet bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for short check-ins, and messaging allows reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel while keeping continuity of care.
