    About Patricia

    Patricia White is a counsellor with 20 years of professional experience. She is registered with the National Counselling Society, NCPS, and offers steady, straightforward support for stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and depression. Parents and carers reading this will find clear, calm guidance on getting help for themselves or a loved one.

    Patricia draws on a mix of approaches to meet each person’s needs. She uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. She also works with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred ideas to tackle unhelpful thoughts and build trusting rapport.

    Her background includes extensive work with trauma, addiction, and loss. She has experience supporting people affected by conflict and war-related trauma and has worked with self-harm, panic and long-standing anxiety. Sessions focus on practical steps, small goals and honest conversation rather than jargon.

    Patricia believes change often feels scary and begins by listening. She helps people spot patterns that keep them stuck and then experiments with new ways of coping. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort.

    She describes people as the experts in their own lives and aims to strengthen resilience and self-care. Patricia keeps clinical supervision and follows the National Counselling Society’s standards as part of her practice.

    To start, readers are invited to consider what they want to change and what a first step might look like. The focus is on manageable progress, clearer thinking and practical support for difficult times.

  2. How Patricia’s approaches translate to online work

    Patricia commonly uses Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Motivational Interviewing involves gentle, listening-focused conversations that help people find their own reasons to change. It suits goals like addressing addictions, improving self-care or moving through tough decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours and uses simple experiments to reduce anxiety, panic and low mood.

    Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. That choice is reviewed as therapy continues, so techniques can be adjusted if something is not helping.

    If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people join from quieter surroundings or use phone-only contact when video is difficult. Discussing practical arrangements at the first meeting helps tailor sessions around daily life and commitments.
