Patricia O'Neill, NCPS

Patricia O'Neill is an accredited counsellor based in Northern Ireland with 15 years of professional experience working across the United Kingdom. She holds the NCPS credential, a recognised accreditation for counsellors and psychotherapists that reflects formal training and professional standing. Patricia focuses on supporting people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship difficulties, and trauma and abuse, and she also addresses related concerns such as attachment issues, chronic pain and illness, codependency, and substance misuse.

Her background includes direct experience with post-traumatic stress arising from growing up in an area affected by prolonged conflict in Ireland, which informs her understanding of complex trauma and PTSD. Patricia has also provided therapy through Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs), helping people navigate work-related challenges and ongoing personal issues within the context of their employment.

In practice she combines Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to tailor support to each person's needs, working collaboratively to build confidence and help clients move toward their goals. Patricia aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored safely, and she emphasizes empowerment and practical steps for change. She is currently accepting clients and welcomes international referrals.
