About Patricia

Patricia Robbins is a psychotherapist with 18 years' experience and membership of BACP and NCPS. She works in the United Kingdom and supports people with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, addiction, ADHD and trauma. Patricia’s profile also notes work around blended family issues among many other focus areas.

Her style is pluralistic and integrative. She combines cognitive-behavioural ideas with attachment-focused and client-centred ways of working. Sessions are conversational and practical. Patricia aims to help people notice patterns, try small changes and develop clearer choices.

She responds to issues such as low self-esteem, grief, relationship struggles and difficulties with sleeping or eating. She also lists work with complex problems like co-morbidity, chronic illness and compassion fatigue. These topics often overlap in day-to-day life, and Patricia helps people untangle what matters most to them right now.

The approach begins by identifying what the client wants to change. Patricia and the person they see then choose methods that fit those goals. That might include talking through painful memories, building new coping skills or experimenting with different ways of handling triggers.

Practical tools and emotional understanding are used together. Patricia describes her work as collaborative and focused on autonomy. People looking for steady, down-to-earth conversations about difficult issues may find this approach helpful.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages choosing actions that reflect personal values and can be helpful for issues like anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape reactions now. It can help people understand loyalty conflicts, trust issues and how they relate to partners or household routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit the person’s needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as understanding grows.

The biography does not list session formats, so please confirm the exact online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow sessions without needing to be on camera if that suits the person better. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and worksheets for remote sessions to keep the work practical and focused.
