About Patricia
Patricia Devlin is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship strain, grief, depression and major life changes. She works with adults and offers a calm, considered approach that focuses on understanding what feels stuck and why. Patricia is a BACP member, which she lists as her professional credential.
Her work centres on looking at how past experiences shape present feelings and behaviour. She uses psychodynamic ideas to help people notice repeated patterns and hidden emotions that affect daily life. This often involves talking about early relationships and how they still influence current choices.
Attachment theory is a clear focus in her practice. Patricia pays attention to how patterns of closeness, trust and fear that began in childhood show up in adult relationships. She helps people recognise behaviours like people-pleasing, withdrawal, or fear of abandonment and how these link back to earlier experiences.
Sessions aim to create steady, thoughtful conversations about feelings, relationships and identity. Patricia describes her style as warm, attuned and collaborative. Over time the work is intended to help people feel more resilient and make different choices in their relationships.
She practises in the United Kingdom and works in English. People interested in getting started are invited to use the platform's Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions.
How attachment and psychodynamic work translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships. It focuses on patterns of closeness, trust and fear, and helps people notice how these patterns play out now in friendships and romantic relationships.Psychodynamic Therapy examines how past experiences and unconscious feelings affect present thoughts, emotions and behaviour. It supports people in recognising repeated reactions, linking them to earlier life events, and exploring new ways of relating and deciding.
Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose what fits a person's needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change as understanding grows and new issues arise.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy life and keeping momentum between meetings. Please check the platform to confirm which session formats this counsellor currently offers before booking. Many people find that online sessions make it easier to manage appointments around work and family commitments and to sustain regular contact when exploring attachment and long-term themes.
