Patricia Foster, BACP

Patricia Foster is a counselling practitioner and member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) with 20 years of experience. She specialises in concerns adults commonly bring about life at home, including stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, relationship problems, and parenting challenges.

She uses a person-centred approach alongside evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment-based ideas. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps as well as understanding patterns in relationships and behaviour. Patricia aims to help people notice what is happening and try different ways of responding.

Many people contact her for support with intimacy-related difficulties, anger, coping with life changes, or ADHD-related struggles. She also works with issues linked to abandonment, attachment problems, blended family matters, caregiver stress and body image concerns. Her background includes work with people affected by physical trauma or emotional abuse and training around addictions and domestic violence.

Patricia keeps things straightforward in sessions. Conversations include identifying manageable goals, practising skills, and tracking small changes. She draws on motivational and solution-focused ideas alongside CBT and elements of emotionally-focused work to address patterns that feel stuck.

People choosing to work with her will find a clear focus on everyday problems at home and relationships. She sees clients in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English for those based elsewhere who choose to work internationally.
