About Patrick
Patrick Carter helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger and low self-esteem. He also supports those coping with depression, parenting pressures, family problems and major life changes. Patrick presents a calm, respectful space where people can talk without fear of judgement.
Patrick works from the belief that most people can find their own way forward when given the right conditions. He aims to listen closely and reflect what matters to each person. Sessions are straightforward and focused on understanding what is happening now and what a person wants to change.
His approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which centres the person’s experience and priorities during sessions. He also uses ideas from Existential Therapy to look at meaning, choices and responsibility when people face major transitions.
Patrick is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and holds NCPS accreditation. He has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and works in English.
People come to Patrick for practical conversation and steady support when life feels overwhelming. He encourages realistic steps and keeps the pace matched to the person in front of him. If someone is unsure where to begin, he starts with what feels most urgent and works outwards from there.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens carefully and reflects what matters most to the individual, helping them clarify goals and decide next steps. This approach is useful for stress, relationship worries and self-esteem concerns.Existential Therapy looks at life choices, meaning and responsibility when people face major changes. It helps when someone is rethinking their role as a parent, dealing with a midlife crisis, or questioning life purpose.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Patrick will discuss options and adjust his style based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That way the focus stays practical and responsive rather than fixed.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available formats before booking since they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life - for example, a session can take place without travel, or be scheduled during a work break. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or avoid being on camera if someone prefers an audio conversation. These practical benefits often help people maintain steady progress without reshaping their whole day.
