About Patricia
Patricia White is a counsellor with 20 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions and relationship or family concerns. She also supports those struggling with self-esteem, anger and workplace pressures.
Patricia is registered with the National Counselling Society (NCPS). She trained initially as an integrative therapist and later added study in trauma, cognitive behavioural therapy and motivational interviewing. Her practice draws on parts of different approaches to suit each person she meets.
Sessions focus on building a reliable relationship and gently looking at what keeps problems going. Patricia helps people identify patterns, try practical steps and set manageable goals. She speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel straightforward and useful for everyday life.
Her background includes work with people affected by conflict and war related trauma as well as longstanding issues such as self-harm, panic and grief. Patricia attends monthly clinical supervision and follows the code of ethics of the National Counselling Society.
If someone is unsure where to begin, Patricia encourages a short conversation to see if the way she works fits their needs. She treats each person as the expert in their own life and helps them use their strengths to make change.
How Patricia’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. It involves attentive listening, reflecting what matters to the client and letting them lead on what to focus on. This suits people who want a supportive space to talk through feelings and decisions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses straightforward techniques such as simple experiments, thought records and small behavioural steps to reduce anxiety, panic and low mood.
Motivational Interviewing helps when a person feels stuck or unsure about change. It uses short, focused conversations to build motivation and clarify goals, which can be helpful for addictions or finding direction in life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify what fits best with a person’s needs, goals and preferences and may combine elements from different approaches as the work progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, please check the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy lives, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time. It can also let people use audio-only options if they prefer not to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use these flexible arrangements to help clients keep therapy practical and consistent.
