About Patrick
Patrick Carter is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, anger, self-esteem, depression, family and parenting matters, and coping with life changes including questions about life purpose.
Patrick listens with curiosity and without judgement. Sessions focus on what the client brings, with the counsellor helping people talk through feelings, behaviours and options. He aims to create straightforward conversations that help people notice what matters and what might change next.
He draws on client-centred methods that place the client's concerns at the centre of the work. That approach is used to support people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward after a change in work, relationship or health. Existential ideas are also part of his practice and are used to look at meaning, responsibility and choice when life shifts.
Patrick has supported people with specific topics such as fatherhood issues, adoption and foster care, fertility and divorce and separation. He also addresses feelings like guilt, shame, isolation and commitment worries. Conversations are practical and plain, focused on making options clearer rather than promising a single solution.
Sessions are offered in English and Patrick is able to work with international clients. He uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first appointment.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's perspective. The counsellor gives attention to what the person brings and supports them to explore feelings and choices. This approach tends to help people who need listening, clearer self-understanding, and practical reflection on next steps.Existential Therapy looks at meaning, responsibility and the options people face. It is used to discuss questions about purpose, midlife changes, commitment and the sense of what matters after big life events. That approach can help when someone wants to weigh values and responsibilities alongside practical decisions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to decide which ideas and methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. This is agreed together and adjusted as sessions progress.
