Patricia White , NCPS

Patricia White is a fully trained and qualified therapist with 20 years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She is an accredited member of the National Counselling Society and holds the NCPS credential, taking part in monthly clinical supervision to maintain professional standards and reflective practice.

Trained initially as an integrative therapist, Patricia later completed additional study in Trauma-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), addiction work, and Motivational Interviewing. Her clinical work spans a broad range of concerns including trauma, anxiety, depression, self-harm, grief and loss, and the effects of conflict and war-related trauma. She has supported clients through relationship and family difficulties, coping with life changes, workplace stress, and issues such as panic, social anxiety, and attachment challenges.

Patricia blends techniques from different counselling approaches to suit each person she works with, prioritizing a strong and honest therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change. Her practice emphasizes exploration of the factors that contribute to how a person feels and collaborative work toward meaningful goals. She works from the view that clients bring strengths, resilience, and expertise about their own lives, and she aims to support and encourage the change they wish to make.

Approaches that guide online therapeutic work

Patricia draws on Client-Centered Therapy to place the client's experience at the heart of the work, focusing on empathic listening and building a trusting relationship that supports personal growth and self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to help identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns and to develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, panic, and related symptoms. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers specific ways to process and work through traumatic experiences, helping clients reduce the ongoing impact of past harm and rebuild a sense of safety and regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Patricia works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the blend of techniques as progress unfolds and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy provides practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging - allowing clients to access licensed professionals from home or while balancing work and caregiving commitments. This range of options supports continuity of care and makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while working toward meaningful change.
