Patrick Lyttle, NCPS

Patrick Lyttle takes a psychodynamic approach, examining current difficulties within the wider context of a person’s life history and past experiences to identify patterns that influence present-day feelings and relationships. He supports adults in learning and making changes that can improve the quality of their own lives and the lives of those around them.

Patrick has over 15 years of experience working in organisational settings and in private practice with adult clients, and he holds NCPS professional accreditation, a recognised professional credential. He completed his training at Kings College London and the University of Oxford.

He has worked with people facing a range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, relationship issues at home and at work, motivation challenges, self-esteem struggles, and broader personal development goals. Patrick combines thoughtful listening with a reflective, insight-oriented style to help clients better understand their patterns and find practical ways to move forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Patrick uses psychodynamic therapy to explore how early life experiences and internal patterns shape current feelings and relationships, helping clients gain insight into recurring difficulties and emotional responses. Attachment-based therapy is offered to examine how attachment styles influence relationships and emotional safety, which can be useful for addressing abandonment, commitment, and connection challenges. Mindfulness therapy is used to develop present-moment awareness and skills for managing stress and anxiety, supporting greater emotional regulation and clearer decision making.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Patrick works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. He tailors the work over time, integrating different perspectives as progress unfolds to ensure the approach remains relevant and effective for each person.

Online therapy with Patrick is available by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access care from wherever clients are based and can support consistent engagement, making it simpler to fit therapy into everyday life.
