About Patricia
Patricia White is a counsellor with 20 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She works with clients on grief, addiction, relationship strains, career worries and difficulties such as low self-esteem or anger. Patricia aims to make the first session straightforward and approachable for someone feeling overwhelmed.
She trained as an integrative therapist and later added study in trauma work, cognitive behavioural therapy and motivational interviewing, among other approaches.
Background and approach
Patricia blends elements from different methods to suit each person rather than using a single formula. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking and building coping skills that people can use between meetings. Her practice emphasises an honest, respectful working relationship.
Patricia listens to what matters most to each person and helps them set realistic goals. She encourages clients to draw on their own strengths while offering guidance through difficult moments. Patricia has worked with people affected by severe stress and trauma, including conflict-related experiences, and has broad experience supporting those with panic, post-traumatic stress and complicated grief.
She uses trauma-focused approaches when needed and helps clients manage symptoms while working towards longer term change. She is a member of the National Counselling Society, NCPS, in the United Kingdom and participates in regular clinical supervision. To begin, Patricia asks people to talk through their main concerns and agree on practical next steps together.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and short-term tasks to help reduce anxiety, panic and low mood by changing unhelpful thinking patterns.
Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings about change. It uses guided conversation to uncover personal reasons for making changes and to strengthen motivation for goals such as reducing addictive behaviour or improving wellbeing.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk through needs and preferences, try out methods and adjust the plan as the work progresses. Clients are involved in choosing goals and pacing so the work fits their life.
Online sessions offer a range of formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and suit shorter check-ins. Live chat or messaging can help when someone prefers written reflection or wants flexible, ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel.
