About Patrick
Patrick Lyttle is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has 20 years of experience working with adults in the United Kingdom. He helps people who feel stuck after changes at work, in relationships or with their health. Common concerns he sees include stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, career questions and coping with life changes, including exploring life purpose.
He uses a psychodynamic approach that links current problems to life history and past experiences. That means conversations often look at how earlier patterns show up now. He also draws on attachment-based ideas to consider how close relationships affect choices and feelings.
Sessions mix careful listening with practical steps. Patrick helps people notice repeated patterns, try new responses and reflect on what matters next. Mindfulness techniques are used at times to reduce anxious thinking and to slow reactions that feel automatic.
He has a background of work in organisational settings and private practice and trained at King’s College London and the University of Oxford. His NCPS credential is shown as NCPS in listings and profiles.
People who come usually want clear, down-to-earth conversations about direction and next steps. Patrick aims to make space for honest talk about commitment, control, abandonment, workplace strain and mood differences without jargon. He welcomes international clients and works in English.

How his approaches translate to online work
Patrick often combines psychodynamic thinking and attachment-based ideas when working online. Psychodynamic work online involves talking about present problems in the light of past experiences to notice repeated patterns and how they affect current choices. Attachment-based work focuses on how close relationships shape feelings and behaviour and can help when commitment, abandonment or control issues are central.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss what feels most useful based on the client's goals and preferences and adapt methods as sessions progress. That means the plan can change as clearer priorities emerge and as practical needs shift.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit talks into a working day, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. They can also help people continue work while living in a different country, since he accepts international clients. The therapist will help arrange a session rhythm that fits everyday life and the practical constraints you have.
