About Patricia
Psychodynamic counsellor, BACP registered, with three years' experience. Patricia Devlin works with adults in the United Kingdom on relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and coping with life changes.
Patricia uses psychodynamic counselling to look at how early experiences and repeated patterns shape how a person thinks, feels and relates today. She pays particular attention to attachment - the ways early care affects trust, closeness and emotional responses. Sessions focus on talking through feelings and patterns that keep a person stuck.
In practice she offers a collaborative way of working. Conversations look at current problems alongside their roots in earlier relationships. This can make it easier to spot repeated behaviours such as withdrawal, fear of abandonment or people-pleasing.
Patricia aims to help clients understand those deeper dynamics so they can make different choices in relationships and daily life. Work often moves between exploring painful memories and noticing small shifts in how someone responds now.
She sees adults from a range of backgrounds and cultures and works in English. For people wanting to begin, the usual steps are a short matching questionnaire and then arranging an initial session via the platform's scheduling tools.
Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.

How attachment and psychodynamic work translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape trust, closeness and emotional patterns. In sessions this means noticing how someone relates in conversation and linking that to earlier experiences. Psychodynamic therapy focuses on recurring themes and unconscious patterns. It helps people see how past events influence current feelings and choices.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about current concerns, goals and what feels most helpful. Together they will test ways of working and adjust the focus as understanding develops.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. The practical benefit of remote sessions is that they can fit into daily life more easily - for example by cutting travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between other commitments, or letting someone attend from a quieter setting. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often aim to match the approach and session rhythm to each person's needs, so check the available session options when you arrange the first appointment.
