About Patricia
She uses psychodynamic counselling to look at how earlier experiences shape current feelings and behaviours. That approach helps people notice repeating patterns and make different choices in relationships and day-to-day life.
Attachment theory is a central part of her work. Patricia pays attention to how early bonds influence trust, closeness and fears such as abandonment. In sessions she gently links these patterns to present difficulties like people-pleasing or emotional withdrawal.
Patricia is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with adults from a variety of backgrounds across the United Kingdom. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
In practical terms, clients can expect space to tell their story and to notice recurring themes together. Patricia aims to help people build clearer self-understanding, steadier emotional responses, and more satisfying connections with others.
How attachment and psychodynamic work translate to online therapy
Patricia draws on attachment-based approaches which look at how early relationships shape trust, closeness and how people manage emotions. This helps when difficulties show up as clinginess, withdrawal or fears of abandonment, and it gives specific things to notice in current relationships.She also uses psychodynamic counselling to uncover recurring patterns that affect mood and behaviour. That work focuses on how past experiences influence present choices, helping people name and change unhelpful cycles over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Patricia will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and help decide which ideas to use. The process is collaborative so you shape the pace and focus of sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. One practical benefit of online sessions is easier scheduling around work, appointments or caregiving. They can also make it simpler to keep a shorter check-in when time is limited or to avoid travel on busy days. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly offer online care to fit therapy into everyday life without changing the core work involved.
