About Patrick

Patrick Lyttle is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety and work-related strain. He works with adults who are looking for clearer direction in their career, greater self-esteem, or calmer relationships. Patrick also supports people coping with life changes and those wanting short-term coaching to meet practical goals.

He takes a psychodynamic approach, looking at present problems alongside life history and past experiences. That means conversations often connect current patterns to earlier events to help people understand why they react as they do. Patrick combines this with attachment-based ideas to look at how close relationships affect mood and behaviour.

With two decades of experience, much of his work has been in organisational settings and private practice. He holds NCPS, which is listed as his professional accreditation. His background includes supporting people with workplace issues, mood difficulties, abandonment or attachment concerns, and problems with control or commitment.

Sessions tend to focus on practical steps alongside reflective conversation. Clients can expect a mix of talking, noticing patterns, and setting small goals to test new ways of relating and coping. Patrick aims to help people feel more steady in day-to-day life and clearer about next steps.

He offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Patrick commonly draws on psychodynamic and attachment-based approaches. Psychodynamic work looks at how past experiences influence current feelings and relationships, helping people spot repetitive patterns and make different choices. Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds shape how someone connects now, which can be useful for relationship strain and commitment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Patrick will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and adapt the style accordingly. That collaboration helps shape whether the focus is more on exploration of history, practical strategies, or a mixture of both.

The biography does not specify which online session types are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow quicker follow-ups after a difficult day. It can also allow shorter check-ins when life is busy, and it can suit people who prefer not to be on camera or need lower bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online work to keep continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult.
