Patricia White, NCPS

Patricia White is a therapist with 20 years of professional experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and depression. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, addiction concerns, work pressures and compassion fatigue. Patricia uses straightforward, person-focused care to help clients find clearer ways forward.

Patricia trained initially as an integrative therapist and later added studies in trauma, cognitive behavioural approaches, addiction work and motivational interviewing. She is a member of NCPS, the National Counselling Society in the UK, and follows their code of ethics while attending monthly clinical supervision.

In sessions she blends methods to match each person’s needs rather than sticking to one fixed style. That can mean using practical thinking tools from CBT, exploring motivations and ambivalence with motivational interviewing, or focusing on trauma-related patterns where needed. The emphasis is on simple, useful strategies and on building a trusting relationship.

Patricia aims to help people identify what keeps problems going and then practise small changes that make daily life easier. She talks through the steps people might take and supports goal-focused work when that fits. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual’s comfort.

People often seek her help for panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, attachment or abandonment concerns, grief, workplace stress and feelings of isolation. She encourages people to use their own strengths while offering guidance and tools to cope and move forward.

Approaches Patricia Uses and what online work can look like

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and aims to create an accepting space where people can talk through difficult feelings. It is useful for building self-understanding and for issues like low self-esteem, grief and relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, panic and low mood because it offers concrete steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a shared task. Patricia will work with each person to see which methods fit their goals and comfort level. Together they decide whether to focus on practical strategies, trauma work or a blend of approaches based on needs and preferences.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking as current options are not listed here. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they can fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily routines. Online work can also make it easier to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel time or choose appointments that suit busy days. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often adapt techniques so practical tools and trauma-focused work translate to remote sessions.
