About Patricia
Patricia Robbins brings 18 years of experience as a psychotherapist to her practice in the United Kingdom. She is a member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society - NCPS - and holds BACP. Patricia offers a warm, collaborative approach that aims to help people feel more in control of their day-to-day life. She focuses on building autonomy and mutual respect from the first session.
Her style is pluralistic and integrative. That means she draws on a range of methods and tailors conversations and plans to each person. Sessions tend to be pragmatic and conversational, with attention to what feels most useful for the individual. Patricia avoids stigmatising labels and treats people with sensitivity and compassion.
Patricia has worked with many concerns over her career. These include stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD and trauma. She also supports people facing challenges such as grief, relationship strain, parenting pressures and career transitions.
In practice she combines cognitive-behavioural ideas with acceptance-focused and relational approaches. This mix can help with changing unhelpful thinking, building emotional skills, and strengthening ways of relating to others and to oneself. Patricia encourages practical steps alongside reflection.
People who come to her can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk things through. She aims to help clients identify small, workable changes that fit into daily life. If someone is ready to try therapy, she offers supportive guidance through that process.
How her approaches work online and in sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that line up with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions because it focuses on small, practical steps and what matters most to the person.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It offers straightforward tools to test unhelpful thinking and build different routines, which can help with sleep problems, low mood and anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will discuss options and together with the client decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, check the available session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, avoid travel, and keep regular momentum between sessions. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited or phone-only conversations when video is not needed. Confirm the exact session options during the booking process to choose what suits you.
