About Patricia
Patricia Devlin is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with adults who are feeling stuck after changes in work, relationships or health. Common concerns she addresses include relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and coping with life changes, with additional focus on issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image and life purpose.
Patricia uses psychodynamic counselling to look at how early experiences and unconscious patterns shape current feelings and behaviour. She talks with clients about how past relationships can influence present ones. This can help people notice repeating patterns that feel confusing or painful.
Attachment-based ideas are a central part of her work. She looks at how early bonds form templates for trust, intimacy and emotional closeness. In sessions she and the client look at how these templates show up now, for example in fear of abandonment or people-pleasing.
Sessions focus on exploring feelings and relationships rather than quick fixes. Patricia aims to help people gain clearer understanding and to try out different ways of relating. Conversations may include looking at recurring emotions, difficult memories, and behaviour patterns that interfere with daily life.
Her practice is aimed at adults across a range of backgrounds and cultures. Language of work is English. For practical steps to begin, clients follow the site's online matching and scheduling process.
How attachment and psychodynamic work translate online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect trust, closeness and emotional responses now. It can help people who struggle with intimacy, fear of abandonment or repeating relationship patterns to name how those habits appear in daily life.Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on recurring feelings and unconscious dynamics that shape choices and moods. It supports looking at how past experiences influence current reactions, which can be useful for grief, depression and a sense of being stuck after major life changes.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to choose which approach or combination of ideas fits best, based on the client’s goals and preferences. This includes checking in about what feels useful and adjusting the focus over time.
