About Patrick
NCPS; 20 years' experience. Patrick Lyttle works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, career issues, coaching and coping with life changes. He also focuses on abandonment, attachment issues, avoidant personality traits, commitment and control issues, life purpose, mood disorders, narcissism and workplace problems.
Patrick uses a psychodynamic approach that looks at current difficulties alongside life history and past experiences. He offers attachment-based perspectives to help people understand patterns in relationships. Mindfulness techniques are used to build awareness and manage anxiety and mood symptoms.
Sessions involve talking through what is happening now and how earlier experiences might shape current reactions. He aims to help people notice patterns, try different responses and make practical changes that improve day-to-day life and relationships.
Patrick has two decades of experience working in organisational settings and private practice with adults. He holds NCPS accreditation and trained at Kings College London and the University of Oxford. These details reflect the background he brings to counselling.
People who choose him often want a reflective, exploratory style that connects feelings and history with present behaviour. He combines longer-term psychodynamic work with focused interventions when needed. Prospective clients should confirm session formats before booking.
Therapeutic approaches and remote counselling
Patrick commonly uses psychodynamic therapy, which looks at how past relationships and life events influence present feelings and behaviour. This approach can help when patterns repeat across relationships or when underlying emotions affect day-to-day functioning.He also draws on attachment-based therapy to examine how early attachment styles shape current relationship patterns. This is useful for people worried about commitment, abandonment or recurring relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and together you will decide which methods to focus on. That collaborative process helps shape whether the work is more exploratory or more focused and short term.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people appreciate remote sessions because they fit work and family routines, reduce travel time and can make scheduling easier. Other practical benefits include shorter check-ins when needed and the option to avoid video if that is preferable. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their way of working to what clients find most manageable.
