About Patricia
Patricia Thomas is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with 25 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, grief and issues around intimacy and eating. Patricia also offers coaching to help people manage life transitions and interpersonal strain.
Her way of working starts from the person's own experience. She listens for the patterns that make things feel stuck. Conversations cover how emotions, attachment and past events shape current reactions. Patricia helps people name hard feelings and practises ways to respond differently.
Patricia uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centred and existential ideas. That blend supports people who want to understand their emotional responses and the meanings behind them. She also draws on solution-focused techniques to set clear, achievable steps for change.
Sessions tend to be practical and direct. People talk about specific problems such as communication breakdowns, trust after hurt, body image or parenting strain. The work can include looking at abandonment or attachment concerns, managing anger, addressing codependency or navigating separation.
Her long experience includes helping people cope with grief, shame, dissociation and control issues. Patricia aims to work collaboratively, helping each person identify strengths they can use to move forward. To begin, readers are invited to follow the site process to match and book a first session.
How Patricia uses EFT and related approaches online
Patricia combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy with client-centred and solution-focused ways of working. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding core emotions and how they shape relationship patterns and personal reactions. Client-centred work emphasises listening and reflecting what a person says so they can clarify their own thoughts and feelings. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying small, practical steps and measurable goals to change daily interactions and routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will explore your needs, goals and preferences alongside you and adjust methods as you go. This collaborative process helps decide whether more emotional processing, reflective listening or short-term action plans are most useful for the issue at hand.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people join from different places when in-person meetings are difficult, while still using the same therapeutic tools to address attachment, communication, grief or anxiety.
