About Patricia
Patricia Foster is a counsellor and member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with two decades of experience. She focuses on everyday problems like anxiety, depression, stress and difficulties with self-esteem. Patricia also helps people facing addiction, grief, parenting strain and intimacy-related concerns.
Her background includes work with people who have experienced emotional or physical abuse and those navigating relationship breakdowns. Patricia uses a person-centred stance that keeps the person’s needs at the heart of each session. She combines practical tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with emotion-focused and attachment-aware ideas to help people understand patterns and try different ways of coping.
Sessions aim to be warm and non-judgemental. Patricia listens first, then helps set clear, realistic goals. She offers straightforward techniques to manage anxiety, tackle addictive behaviours and improve communication.
Over 20 years she has supported people from varied backgrounds with issues such as ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, anger and adjustment to life changes. She also addresses specific areas like abandonment worries, body image and caring-related stress.
Patricia adapts the plan to each person’s situation. That may mean short-term practical work or a longer conversation about attachment and emotional patterns. The focus is on helping people move toward a more manageable, steady day-to-day life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Patricia draws on person-centred care alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused perspectives. Client-centred work means the conversation starts with what matters most to the person and builds from there. CBT brings practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can help with anxiety, depression and addictive patterns. Emotionally-Focused ideas help name and work with emotions in relationships and intimacy-related issues.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Patricia will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. She works collaboratively, checking in about what helps and adjusting the plan as needed so the work fits the client’s aims.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel or allowing shorter check-ins when time is limited. It can also let people continue therapy if they move location or need to arrange sessions around work or caregiving commitments. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists using these approaches, can tailor sessions to practical needs and daily routines.
