About Patricia

Counsellor Patricia O'Neill, NCPS, has 15 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self esteem, depression, relationship difficulties, and trauma and abuse.

Patricia uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in straightforward, conversational sessions. She draws on personal and professional experience of post-conflict issues from growing up in Ireland to inform her understanding of trauma-related distress. She has also supported people referred through workplace Employee Assistance Programmes.

Sessions centre on clear, practical talk about current problems and steps that can be taken day to day. CBT is used to identify unhelpful thinking and to build small behavioural changes. Client-Centred work focuses on listening and reflecting what the person is experiencing.

Patricia helps people who are coping with addiction and substance issues, those managing chronic illness or pain, and people facing separation and domestic violence. She also works with concerns such as obsessional thinking, mood disorders, isolation and difficulties with communication and attachment.

Her approach aims to be direct and respectful, concentrating on concrete goals and patterns that the person can recognise between sessions. People are encouraged to try practical strategies, review what helps, and adjust plans over time.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches work in remote sessions

Client-Centred Therapy is based on listening and reflecting back what the person says. It helps people clarify feelings and decide what matters to them in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety, low mood or addictive patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will discuss goals and preferences with each person and then agree on whether more Client-Centred conversation or structured CBT tasks are a better fit. The plan can be reviewed and adjusted as therapy progresses in a collaborative way.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or health needs, and it can shorten travel time. It also allows simple alternatives such as shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video when that helps someone manage attendance. Registered or accredited professionals use these flexible arrangements to help therapy fit into everyday life.
