About Patricia
Patricia Robbins is a BACP, NCPS counsellor with 18 years of experience. She offers a warm, integrative style that aims to help people feel more in control of their day-to-day thoughts and habits. Patricia focuses on supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression and addiction, among other concerns.
Her approach is pluralistic and collaborative. She shapes sessions around each person's needs and preferences rather than following one fixed method. Conversations are practical and grounded, with attention to how thoughts and everyday habits affect mood and behaviour.
Patricia draws on a mix of well-known approaches including cognitive-behavioural ideas, acceptance-based techniques and attachment-informed work. She uses these tools to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try new responses and build small routines that make daily life easier.
She has worked with people dealing with trauma and abuse, neurodiversity such as autism and ADHD, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, and long-term health challenges. Patricia says she avoids stigmatising labels and focuses on respect and sensitivity when talking about these issues.
If someone is ready to make a change, Patricia aims to support and empower practical steps forward. Her sessions are intended to help people understand what gets in the way and to find manageable ways to shift thoughts and habits over time.

How her approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for worry, low mood and getting stuck in old habits. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change those patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current trust and intimacy, and can help with relationship and attachment-related concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia aims to explore what techniques feel useful and to agree a plan together. That collaborative process means trying different strategies and adapting them to the person's goals and daily life.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is short, and let people use audio-only sessions when bandwidth is limited or they prefer not to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can guide you on which format will best fit your needs.
