About Patricia
Patricia Foster is a counsellor with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings 20 years of experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, addiction and relationship strain. Patricia focuses on thoughts and everyday habits as part of helping people shift how they respond to stress and life changes.
Her work draws on client-centred principles, so conversations begin with whatever matters most to the person sitting opposite her. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical, small-step changes. Emotionally-focused and attachment-based approaches guide work around relationships and recurring emotional themes.
Patricia has helped people affected by trauma, abuse and parenting challenges, along with a range of personality and mood concerns. She meets each person where they are and adapts sessions to their goals. That means setting clear, manageable aims together and checking progress as work continues.
Sessions are aimed at making everyday life easier to manage. Patricia uses straightforward tools rather than jargon. Expect calm, practical conversations about feelings, habits and choices. The aim is to leave with concrete steps you can try between meetings.
She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. If you want to start, there is a short matching questionnaire to complete before scheduling a session through the Start Therapy button.

How Patricia’s approaches translate to online therapy
Patricia commonly blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural and attachment-based ideas. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and understood; it helps when someone needs a steady, accepting space to talk. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thought patterns and everyday habits and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behaviours; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and habit change. Attachment-based therapy examines how early relationship patterns affect current emotional responses and helps people understand and adjust recurring relationship dynamics.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will talk with each person about their goals, needs and preferences and then agree a plan together. That collaborative process means methods can shift over time as progress is reviewed.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and fewer travel demands. Online meetings can allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and they may make it simpler to involve practical exercises between sessions. Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm the available options before booking to ensure they suit your schedule and needs.
