About Patricia
Patricia Robbins is a counsellor with BACP and NCPS accreditation and has 18 years of experience in the therapeutic field. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and anger, among other concerns. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage feelings and everyday problems.
Her style is integrative and pluralistic. She draws on cognitive-behavioural methods, Client-Centred ideas and attachment-informed work to shape conversations. Patricia aims to help people notice patterns, try new responses and reduce reactive behaviour that fuels arguments or resentment.
She often supports people dealing with trauma, grief, low self-esteem and relationship strain. She also works with attention differences such as ADHD, and with concerns linked to identity and sexuality. Patricia uses approaches that help with coping, routines, and moment-to-moment emotion management.
In sessions she listens for what matters most to each person and uses simple, practical tools. That can include straightforward behavioural tasks, skills for handling strong emotions, and ways to change unhelpful thinking. The focus is on what a person can try between meetings to make daily life flow better.
Patricia has worked across many settings over nearly two decades and brings that experience into clinical conversations. She supports clients without labelling, and plans are agreed together. If someone wants a clearer handle on anger, stress or compulsive behaviours, Patricia offers steady, practical input and collaborative planning.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about noticing thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then choosing actions that match your values. It can help with anger, avoidance, and getting on with daily life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavioural changes to reduce reactive patterns and low mood. It suits problems like anxiety, insomnia and irritability. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at repeated relationship patterns and how early connections shape reactions; it can be useful for intimacy issues, communication problems and anger tied to past wounds.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Patricia treats this as a collaborative process - she will discuss options, try methods in sessions, and adjust plans based on what feels useful. Goals and practical steps are agreed together rather than imposed.
The original biography does not list which online session formats are used, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats also use less bandwidth or avoid video when that helps. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and skills practice to suit remote sessions so that progress continues between meetings.
