About Patricia

Patricia Thomas offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress or life changes. She keeps sessions focused and practical, helping clients sort out relationship pain, family tensions, grief and the effects of trauma. Patricia speaks plainly and helps people find steps they can try between sessions.

Patricia draws on 25 years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Background and approach

She approaches work from a person-centred stance, listening first to what matters most to each individual. From there she uses emotionally focused and solution-focused ideas to help people notice patterns and try new ways of relating. Her practice often addresses intimacy concerns, body image and self-esteem as well as issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and codependency.

She also helps people facing separation, domestic violence, dissociation and the guilt and shame that can follow painful events. Sessions are practical and collaborative. Clients can expect a mix of exploring feelings and identifying small, achievable goals.

Patricia encourages people to use their existing strengths while learning new ways to communicate and cope. People come to Patricia for support with parenting strain, eating-related worries, anger and coaching through major life transitions. She aims to create a steady, non-judgemental space where people can work at their own pace.

Online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens without judgement and helps people name what matters to them, which can be useful for anxiety, self-esteem and life changes.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice patterns in their emotional responses and in relationships. It supports people who struggle with intimacy, attachment issues or intense emotional reactions by creating space to understand and respond differently.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will help clients decide which ideas and methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. This happens together over the first sessions, so the plan can change as understanding grows.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people talk face to face while saving travel time. Phone sessions or live chat can be simpler when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Text-based messaging supports short check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions, making it easier to fit therapy around work or family life.
