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 helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, workplace stress and career questions.
Patricia draws on several approaches when she meets someone. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. She also uses Client-Centred methods to listen and reflect, Motivational Interviewing to clarify what someone wants to change, and Trauma-Focused techniques where past harm is involved.
Sessions focus on practical steps and clear thinking. Patricia works with people to identify patterns that keep problems going and then tests small changes in thinking or behaviour. Conversations are straightforward and goal-focused so progress can be reviewed over time.
Her background includes long experience with trauma, anxiety, depression, self-harm, grief and loss. She has worked with people affected by conflict and war-related trauma and draws on that clinical experience when relevant.
Patricia attends monthly clinical supervision and follows the National Counselling Society code of ethics. To start, a simple matching process and an initial session help set goals and decide which approach will be most useful.
How she uses CBT, client-centred and motivational methods online
Patricia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) online to help people identify thinking patterns and test small behavioural changes. CBT sessions tend to focus on specific problems such as anxiety, panic attacks or low mood and include practical exercises and homework to try between meetings.She also uses Client-Centred approaches that involve open listening and reflection to understand a person's experience. This can help when someone needs time to talk through grief, relationship strain or workplace stress. Motivational Interviewing is used to clarify a person’s reasons for change and to increase readiness for steps like reducing addictive behaviours.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Patricia will discuss options and agree a plan based on the client's goals and preferences, and she adjusts methods if something is not helping. That collaboration helps make sessions more relevant and focused.
The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, and remove travel time. They can also suit people who prefer not to use video, but check which formats are available when arranging the first session.
