About Patricia Devlin
Her practice centers on a careful examination of a person's inner life and the difficulties they may be facing, from anxiety and low mood to relationship struggles, identity concerns, or a general sense of feeling stuck. Patricia uses psychodynamic methods to look at how early experiences and unconscious patterns continue to influence how someone thinks, feels, and relates to themselves and others.
A key focus of her work is attachment theory - the idea that early relationships create templates for closeness, trust, and emotional safety. These patterns can show up in adult life as intimacy difficulties, fear of abandonment, emotional withdrawal, or people-pleasing, often without a full understanding of their origins. In therapy she pays close attention to how these attachment dynamics affect current relationships and self-perception, and she uses the therapeutic relationship as a space to explore and begin to shift those patterns. Her style is warm, attentive, and geared toward fostering greater self-understanding and lasting change.

Working Online with Attachment and Psychodynamic Approaches
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape expectations about closeness, trust, and emotional safety. It helps people understand patterns such as fear of abandonment, emotional withdrawal, or people-pleasing, and supports shifts toward more secure ways of relating. Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence current thoughts, feelings, and relationships; it can help uncover the roots of recurring difficulties like low mood, relationship strain, or a sense of being stuck.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Patricia collaborates with each person to identify the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as understanding deepens so the process feels tailored and cooperative.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy or changing lives. For many people, remote options increase access to registered professionals and allow ongoing work without the need for travel, while still preserving the reflective, relational focus that underpins attachment and psychodynamic practice.
