Patricia Thomas, BACP

Patricia Thomas is a counsellor with 25 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. She supports those coping with grief, trauma and abuse, and people struggling with self-esteem, eating or intimacy-related issues. Patricia speaks English and is based in the United Kingdom.

She starts by listening to a person's story and recognising their strengths. Sessions focus on what matters now and on small, practical steps a person can try between meetings. Patricia aims to make the room a calm place to talk about difficult feelings and decisions.

Patricia works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency and communication problems. She also helps people dealing with divorce and separation, infidelity and domestic violence, and with emotional reactions like anger, guilt or shame. The approach is flexible and shaped by what each person needs.

Her practice draws on Client-Centred Therapy to centre the person's own perspective, Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at patterns in close relationships, and Solution-Focused Therapy to identify practical next steps. Those methods are used alongside existential questions about meaning when relevant.

Patricia is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

How these approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens closely and follows the person's lead, helping them make sense of feelings and choices. This approach suits people who want space to tell their story and be heard.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how people respond to emotional triggers. It helps identify recurring interaction styles and opens a path to changing how someone connects with others, which can be useful for intimacy-related concerns and communication problems.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Patricia will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and together they will decide which methods to try. That collaborative conversation helps shape each session and the plan between meetings.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions around busy days and the option to reduce travel time. Online work can make shorter check-ins and regular meetings simpler to schedule.
