Patricia (Trish) Igoe, BACP

Patricia (Trish) Igoe is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, self-esteem and career concerns. She works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, cancer-related distress, codependency and feelings of isolation. Trish practises in the United Kingdom and brings ten years of experience to her work.

Trish uses a mix of practical and relational approaches. She draws on client-centred work to make sessions feel respectful and non-judgemental. Cognitive behavioural techniques help people spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also draws on dialectical behaviour skills and emotion-focused ideas to support regulation and clearer communication.

In the therapy room Trish aims for an open atmosphere where people can talk honestly about what worries them. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her, with straightforward tools and steps to try between meetings. She keeps language simple and works at a pace that suits each person.

Her BACP credential is shown as BACP, which indicates membership of the professional association. Trish supports people through transitions linked to ageing and geriatric issues as part of a wider practice that includes relationship and addiction concerns.

How certain approaches work online with practical goals

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how earlier connections shape current worries. Online or remote sessions can help people notice those patterns, try new ways of relating and practise different responses in everyday life.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre and relies on empathic listening and acceptance. This approach helps people feel heard and gradually find their own solutions to problems such as low self-esteem or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods suit the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process includes checking what feels useful and adjusting the focus over time.

If you plan to try online therapy, confirm the exact session formats before booking since current options are not specified here. Many people find online sessions fit into busy lives more easily, as they can cut travel time and make it simpler to arrange appointments around work or caregiving. Online meetings also let some people use shorter check-ins or avoid being on camera when they prefer less visual attention.
