About Patricia
Patricia (Trish) Igoe is a BACP counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and career worries. She speaks plain language and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
Background and approach
Trish centres sessions on what matters most to each person, and she aims to make the first steps feel manageable. Trish draws on a mix of approaches to match different needs.
She uses the Gottman Method ideas for relationship patterns, attachment-based thinking to look at early bonds, and cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle troubling thoughts. Dialectical behaviour skills and client-centred listening also feature in sessions when they fit the issue.
In practice she works simply and directly. People can expect short-term plans for specific problems and longer work for deeper issues.
Sessions often focus on communication habits, setting boundaries, coping skills for anxiety, and steps to reduce substance use or addictive behaviours. Her background includes ten years in the field and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is shown as BACP.
She is based in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. Trish offers several online formats so therapy can fit into busy lives.
Her approach is collaborative - she helps people decide which techniques to try and reviews progress regularly. The aim is steady change through clear, manageable actions.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Trish uses the Gottman Method ideas to help identify repeated relationship patterns and improve communication. That approach looks at how people interact and teaches practical skills for honest conversation and repair. She also draws on attachment-based therapy to look at how early bonds affect current feelings and responses, which can help with anxiety, trust and closeness. Finally, client-centred therapy gives space for people to be heard and to lead the pace of the work, which suits those who need a steady, supportive environment.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Trish will discuss goals, try techniques and review what helps most. She collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, preferences and everyday life rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video suits deeper discussions and non-verbal cues, phone can fit a quick check-in when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter focused exchanges and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
