Therapeutic approaches and flexible online support

Patricia uses evidence-informed approaches to tailor therapy to each person’s needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify personal values and take meaningful action while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings - it can help with anxiety, depression and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating formed in early life and how those patterns affect current relationships - it is useful for attachment issues, relationship difficulties and intimacy-related concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress and many practical problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Patricia works collaboratively with each client to identify goals, try different techniques and agree on the best mix of methods based on individual needs, preferences and progress. This collaborative stance helps establish a plan that feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and support is also available via live chat or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, access support across distances and maintain continuity of care when circumstances change, while allowing registered professionals to deliver focused, goal-oriented work.
