About Patricia
Patricia Robbins is a counsellor with BACP and NCPS registration and 18 years of experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and challenges such as ADHD and relationship concerns. She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem.
Her style mixes several established approaches. Conversations are collaborative and focus on helping people name difficult emotions and understand their patterns. She uses Emotionally‑Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside cognitive and humanistic ways of working to address how feelings and thoughts interact.
Sessions often begin by mapping the problems that matter most to the client. Patricia then uses practical strategies from cognitive behaviour work and ACT to build skills for coping and managing symptoms. Attachment‑based ideas are used when relationship patterns and early attachment difficulties are relevant.
She works with extra focus areas such as abandonment, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, codependency and caregiver stress. Patricia also supports people dealing with chronic illness, blended family concerns, grief and career pressures.
Patricia presents a pluralistic approach, which means she draws on different methods to match the person in front of her. The aim is to find clearer ways to name feelings, change unhelpful patterns and develop practical steps that fit everyday life. If a client prefers, she can explain the different methods and agree a shared plan for sessions.
How her approaches translate to online work
Patricia uses Emotionally‑Focused Therapy to help people name and work with hard emotions and relationship patterns. EFT focuses on feelings and how they shape interactions, which can help when people struggle to say what they feel. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to build practical ways to live with difficult thoughts while keeping sight of personal values. ACT offers short exercises and skills to use between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will discuss options and decide together which methods suit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative selection helps shape practical goals and which exercises are most useful in day to day life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around other commitments, allow shorter check‑in meetings when needed, and avoid travel time. Registered and accredited professionals can use the same conversational, skills and attachment‑focused tools online as they do in person, adjusting exercises and pace to suit the person’s situation.
