Patricia Robbins, BACP, NCPS

Patricia Robbins is a counsellor with 18 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works in a collaborative way and places strong emphasis on personal choice and autonomy. Her manner is warm and approachable and she aims to help people who are facing difficult life moments find practical ways forward.

Patricia uses a pluralistic, integrative style that draws on several therapy approaches. She adapts sessions to each person's needs and prefers to shape conversations and plans around what is most useful for that individual. The focus is on working without judgement and treating people with sensitivity and respect.

Her experience includes supporting people with depression, anxiety, self-esteem and addiction concerns. She also helps those living with neurodiversity such as autism and ADHD, and people who have experienced trauma or abuse. Midlife crisis is listed among the areas she addresses, alongside relationship and career concerns.

Sessions aim to build autonomy and empower people to make changes that matter to them. Patricia combines practical thinking about patterns and behaviours with attention to emotional experience. This means clients can expect a mix of strategies and reflective conversation tailored to everyday life.

If someone is ready to start, Patricia outlines gentle steps to move forward and offers support through change. Her approach is centred on collaboration and on helping people regain a clearer sense of direction.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and to take small steps that align with those values. It is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful cycles, which can help with mood, sleep and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and emotional bonds, helping people understand how early relationships shape current reactions and intimacy issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will help clients choose which methods to try based on their goals and personal preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as needs shift.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online and in-person options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people work from quieter surroundings or join from a different region when that suits their circumstances. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and tools for remote work, and sessions are shaped to fit everyday life rather than a fixed script.
