About Patricia
Patricia Devlin offers a calm, thoughtful space for adults feeling overwhelmed by relationships, loss, low mood, or life changes. She presents as a steady presence who helps people talk through difficult feelings and understand recurring patterns that get in the way of daily life. Patricia is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She trained in psychodynamic counselling and uses that approach alongside attachment-focused work to look at how early experiences shape present responses.
Background and approach
Her style is collaborative and reflective rather than directive. Sessions focus on exploring emotions, relationships, and the reasons certain patterns repeat. Conversations may include how fears of abandonment or difficulty trusting others affect choices.
Over time the aim is to notice automatic reactions and create new ways of relating to oneself and other people. Practical concerns such as grief, coping with illness or chronic pain, body image, and feelings of emptiness are included alongside relationship issues and depression. She also helps people facing guilt, shame, codependency, control struggles, or questions about life purpose.
Patricia has three years of practice and meets adults from a variety of backgrounds. She works in the United Kingdom and carries the BACP credential, which is listed here as provided in her professional details.

How Patricia works online
She also uses psychodynamic counselling to explore how unconscious patterns and past experiences influence feelings and behaviour today. This method helps people gain insight into why they react in certain ways and supports gradual change through reflective conversation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, worries and preferences and together decide which ideas to focus on. That collaboration helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and manageable.
Confirm the current session options before booking as the profile does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow a consistent routine. Some people appreciate shorter check-ins when time is limited, while others prefer full-length weekly sessions to dig deeper into patterns. The practical aim is to help therapy slot into everyday life in a way that supports steady progress.
