About Patrick
Patrick Lyttle works with adults who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, stuck in repeating relationship patterns, or unsure about life direction. He explains things simply and helps people find practical ways to manage anxiety, build self‑worth and make clearer career or life choices. Patrick uses a psychodynamic approach to link present problems with past experiences.
He pays attention to patterns of attachment and the ways early relationships can shape current responses.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to make those patterns easier to recognise and change over time. Mindfulness techniques are part of his work, helping people learn to notice thoughts and feelings without being swept along by them. This can make intense emotions feel more manageable and reduce reactivity in difficult moments.
He also draws on systemic ideas to look at how workplace demands and family roles influence stress and behaviour. That perspective helps people spot practical shifts they can make in daily life and at work. Patrick has two decades of experience in organisational settings and independent practice.
He holds NCPS as a professional credential. Sessions are carried out in English and Patrick accepts international clients; please confirm current session options when booking. People who come to him for coaching or therapy often want a clearer sense of purpose, help with commitment and control issues, or support when coping with mood changes and difficult personality dynamics.
He works with each person to set clear, realistic goals and practical next steps.

Approaches Patrick lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
How Patrick works online
He also incorporates mindfulness practices that teach simple attention and breathing skills. These can be practised during sessions and used between meetings to manage anxiety and mood shifts.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose which methods to prioritise based on their needs and goals. That collaboration helps set practical aims and steps to reach them.
The biography does not specify which session formats Patrick offers, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check‑in sessions when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people keep therapy going when they are living abroad or moving for work.
