About Patricia
Patricia White is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling Society (NCPS) in the United Kingdom and has worked in the field for 20 years. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addiction, relationship and family concerns, anger, low self-esteem, career questions and life purpose. Patricia also focuses on caregiver stress, attachment and abandonment issues, workplace concerns and panic symptoms.
Her practice draws on a mix of approaches learned over two decades. She trained as an integrative therapist and later added study in trauma work, cognitive behavioural therapy, addiction support and motivational interviewing. In sessions she blends methods to match what feels most useful for the person in front of her.
Patricia aims to help people identify factors that affect how they feel and to work through practical steps toward change. Conversations are straightforward and goal-focused when needed. She pays attention to how past experiences, including traumatic events, continue to shape daily life.
Clients who come with grief, loss or conflict-related trauma find she brings direct experience of that work. She also has experience with social anxiety, panic attacks, guilt and shame, isolation and forgiveness issues. Her approach includes short-term problem solving as well as longer-term trauma-focused work.
Patricia takes part in monthly clinical supervision and follows the National Counselling Society code of ethics. She offers sessions in English in the UK. To begin, people typically complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial appointment.
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens without directing, reflecting back what matters and supporting the person to make their own choices. This approach suits people who need a respectful space to sort out feelings and priorities.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms like anxiety or panic. CBT can be useful for people wanting clear techniques to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Patricia will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has helped in the past. She adapts the mix of client-centred listening, CBT or motivational techniques based on needs and progress, so the plan can change as things move forward.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel. They also allow shorter check-ins when that suits, and can reduce time spent commuting. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which format will best match practical constraints and therapeutic goals.
