About Patricia
Patricia O'Neill is a counsellor (NCPS) practising in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Her work also covers relationship difficulties and the effects of trauma and abuse.
She uses straightforward talking methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that keep problems going. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person's own perspective and goals.
Patricia has professional experience supporting people with post-traumatic stress linked to growing up during conflict in Ireland. That background informs how she responds to trauma symptoms and to people who find memories or reminders hard to manage. She has also worked with Employee Assistance Programmes in workplace contexts.
Other areas she addresses include attachment difficulties, chronic pain or illness, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, substance use, first responder issues, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, veteran and armed forces matters, mood disorders, and obsessive-compulsive concerns.

How CBT and person-centred work translate to online sessions
Patricia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and test thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. CBT sessions are often active and structured, with practical exercises and homework to try between meetings. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and goals, giving space for people to describe what matters to them and decide the priorities for change.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss the options with each person and agree a plan based on their needs, goals and preferences. That plan can change as work progresses, with regular check-ins about what is helpful.
The practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions into everyday life, shorter check-ins, and avoiding travel time. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use online sessions to make therapy more manageable around work, family and other commitments.
