About Patricia

Patricia White is a counsellor with 20 years of professional experience. She is a member of the National Counselling Society and works with people facing stress, anxiety and trauma, including panic disorder and panic attacks. Patricia supports those coping with grief, depression, addiction and workplace or relationship strain. She aims to create a straightforward and empathetic space for people to talk about what feels hard right now.

Patricia trained as an integrative therapist and later added study in trauma work, cognitive behavioural approaches, addiction support and motivational interviewing. She draws on different methods and matches them to each person’s needs rather than using one fixed style. Sessions focus on practical steps, clear communication and building the relationship needed to do the work.

People come to Patricia wanting to reduce panic attacks, manage anxiety, work through past trauma, or make sense of major life changes. She helps clients identify patterns, try small changes and reflect on what is working. The work can include coping strategies, problem-solving and looking at unhelpful thinking habits.

Patricia attends monthly clinical supervision and follows the National Counselling Society’s code of ethics. She encourages a collaborative approach where the person sets goals and she offers tools, feedback and steady support. If someone prefers a short, focused plan or a deeper, exploratory process, she adapts the sessions accordingly.

To begin, readers should use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire. This helps link people with a therapist and allows scheduling according to Patricia’s availability.

How her approaches shape online work

Patricia uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques to guide sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping the person lead the pace of change; it suits people who want a supportive, non-directive space. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical tools to reduce symptoms like panic and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Patricia will talk with each person about what they hope to achieve and try to match methods to those goals. This is a collaborative decision and can change over time as progress and preferences become clear.

If you are considering online therapy, check and confirm the session formats available before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they can fit appointments around work, avoid travel time and choose quieter surroundings. Some formats can also make shorter check-ins easier or reduce the need to be on camera. Discuss the practical options with Patricia when you schedule so sessions fit your day and goals.
