About Patricia
Patricia White supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and major life changes. She also helps with addictions, workplace pressures, relationship strain, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. Patricia is an NCPS credential holder with 20 years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom.
She trained initially as an integrative therapist and later added study in trauma work, cognitive behavioural therapy, addiction approaches and motivational interviewing. Her work blends techniques from these approaches to suit each person who comes to sessions.
Background and approach
This flexibility helps her focus on what matters to the individual rather than a single method. In a typical session she listens first and aims to build a straightforward, honest relationship. She helps clients identify patterns that keep them stuck and then tries practical ways to change those patterns.
That might mean looking at thoughts and behaviours, or setting small goals to move forward. Patricia has long experience with trauma, including work with people affected by conflict and war related trauma. She also supports people through bereavement, panic attacks, feelings of abandonment, communication struggles and workplace issues.
She draws on trauma-focused approaches when it is helpful. Therapy can feel daunting at first. Patricia works at a steady pace and treats the client as the expert in their own life.
She offers monthly clinical supervision as part of her ongoing professional practice and follows the National Counselling Society code of ethics.

How Patricia works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It often uses simple exercises and small homework tasks to change unhelpful patterns, which can be easy to work on during an online course of sessions.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Patricia will discuss options and adapt methods based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that aims to match practical techniques to real life concerns.
If you are considering remote sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, often use remote work to maintain continuity of care and to offer flexible scheduling that fits everyday life.
