About Patricia
Patricia White is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling Society (NCPS) in the United Kingdom and has 20 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression and difficulties like addiction, relationship strain and compassion fatigue. Guilt and shame are listed among the concerns she supports.
Her way of working draws on several practical counselling approaches. She trained as an integrative therapist and later added study in trauma work, cognitive behavioural therapy and motivational interviewing. Sessions are conversational and focused on identifying what keeps a problem going and what might help change it.
Patricia describes counselling as a process of working through what feels hard and making changes that matter to the person. She pays attention to how past experiences, attachment and life transitions affect current feelings and behaviour. People commonly bring grief, panic attacks, workplace stress, or relationship and communication problems to sessions.
She has substantial experience with trauma, including clients affected by conflict and war related trauma. That background informs her use of trauma-focused methods alongside solution-focused techniques and CBT strategies when they suit the persons needs.
Patricia meets clients with straightforward, practical conversations. She helps people clarify goals, identify unhelpful patterns, and try new ways of coping. Clinical supervision is part of her practice and informs the work she does with clients.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps when someone wants a space to talk through guilt, shame or confusing feelings and to make sense of their own responses. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses short, practical exercises to test new ways of responding. It can be useful for anxiety, panic and low mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss different methods and decide with the person which ones to try based on their needs, goals and preferences. That means sessions may draw on listening and reflection, or on CBT tasks, or combine elements as the work progresses.

Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week and can reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins or appointments that suit a work break or tight schedule. Registered and accredited professionals offer online sessions in ways that aim to match the practical demands of everyday life while using the chosen therapeutic methods.
