Background and approach

Her style draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which means she listens closely and follows what matters most to the client. Sessions are shaped around personal goals, not a fixed agenda. People can expect an empathetic approach that encourages self-awareness and choice.

Patricia trained and practises in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has six years of professional experience working with a range of everyday pressures and emotional concerns. That background informs a steady, practical approach.

Beginning therapy with Patricia involves a gentle, step-by-step process. She aims to make it straightforward to talk about difficult things. The emphasis is on small changes that add up to better coping and clearer thinking over time.

Client-centred care adapted for online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and creating a non-judgemental space where people can speak openly. The therapist reflects feelings and supports the client to find their own solutions, which can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and grief.

The therapeutic process is collaborative. Patricia will work with each person to decide which approach fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts the pace and focus as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when internet quality varies, and live chat or messaging suit shorter check-ins or those who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to attend sessions from work, home or while travelling, and they give flexibility for busy schedules.
