Patricia (Trish) Igoe is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are living with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, low self-esteem and career uncertainty. Her approach is straightforward and warm, aimed at making it easier to talk about what matters most.

Trish uses a mix of practical techniques and listening. She draws on client-centred ways of working so people feel heard. She also uses cognitive behavioural tools to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and find clearer options.

Background and approach

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns. These include abandonment, attachment issues, communication problems, codependency, control issues, grief linked to cancer, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, guilt and shame, infidelity and isolation or loneliness. She also works with commitment issues, jealousy and some ageing and geriatric issues.

Her style is collaborative and paced to each person. Sessions focus on small, doable steps that fit day-to-day life. Trish encourages honest conversation and practical problem solving rather than jargon or complicated models.

Trish has around ten years of experience as a counsellor. She invites clients to explore their goals together and helps them build skills to manage emotions and relationships. Getting started is framed as a simple, supported process rather than a painful obligation.

How Trish combines therapy approaches online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds affect present relationships. It helps people understand patterns around trust, closeness and hurt in their current connections and supports rebuilding safer ways of relating.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach is useful when someone needs acceptance and clearer personal direction.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It teaches practical exercises to change negative thinking and reduce anxiety or unhelpful behaviour.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Trish will discuss options with each person and choose methods together based on needs and goals. The tone is collaborative and adaptive rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are good for a more personal conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and messaging supports ongoing, shorter exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, care duties and daily life while keeping focus on progress.
