About Patrick

Patrick Lyttle is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety and relationship worries. He supports individuals working through low self-esteem, workplace pressures and life changes. Patrick draws on two decades of experience to offer steady, practical help.

He uses ideas from psychodynamic work to look at how past experiences shape current patterns. That often means talking about early relationships and repeated behaviours, so clients can see why they react as they do.

Background and approach

He also draws on attachment-based thinking to consider how bonds affect everyday interactions. Sessions focus on clear, real-life goals. Patrick talks with people about what they want to change and tries small, manageable steps to get there.

He also uses mindfulness techniques to help people manage overwhelm in the moment and settle anxious thinking. Patrick trained at King’s College London and the University of Oxford and holds NCPS. He has worked in organisational settings and independent practice for many years.

His background means he is used to thinking about problems that cross work and home life. People who come to him often want to understand repeating patterns, rebuild confidence, or find direction in their career and personal life. He aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on what matters now and next.

Online support

How his approaches translate to online work

Patrick uses Systemic Therapy to look at patterns between people and across settings, such as work and home. That helps when problems seem to repeat or involve other people even if they do not attend sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current closeness and trust, and it can help when people want steadier relationships.

Finding the right mix of approaches is treated as a collaborative process. Patrick will talk with clients about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus on life history, current patterns, mindfulness practice or a blend of these styles.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and reading non-verbal cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and suit people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between sessions, making therapy easier to fit around work or busy days.
