About Patrick
Patrick Carter helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship strain, anger and worries about self-esteem. He also supports people facing family and parenting concerns and those adjusting to life changes. Patrick writes plainly and creates a calm space where people can speak without judgement.
Patrick is BACP, NCPS. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and NCPS is the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. He has three years of professional experience working with people on issues such as depression, motivation, confidence and social anxiety.
In sessions Patrick stays curious and respectful. He listens first and follows the person rather than directing them. Conversations are practical and grounded, focusing on what is most pressing for the individual.
Patrick draws on client-centred ways of working that put the person's experience at the centre of the conversation. He also uses ideas from existential therapy to help people think through life meaning, choices and values when facing difficult transitions.
People can expect a supportive relationship and straightforward conversations about goals and next steps. Patrick aims to help people build clearer perspectives, small day-to-day changes and more confidence in moving forward.
If someone wants to explore adoption or foster care questions, fatherhood concerns, relationship breakdown, fertility or guilt and shame, Patrick has experience in these areas and will work with each person to prioritise their needs.
How client-centred and existential approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and following the person’s priorities. It helps people feel heard, build self-understanding and find practical ways to manage stress, relationship problems and low mood.Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice and values. It can help when someone is facing big life changes, midlife questions, or worries about purpose and commitment.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which ideas fit best with a person's goals and preferences, and will adapt the way they work as those goals change.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often find that conversational, reflective work transfers well to remote sessions and can be a practical way to keep continuity of care.
