About Patrick

Patrick Carter helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship issues, anger, self-esteem and depression. He uses a respectful, curious approach and aims to be non-judgemental in sessions. Patrick is BACP, NCPS and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

He focuses on practical conversation about current problems. Sessions look at how difficulties show up day to day and what might make them less dominant. He listens for patterns in relationships, mood and behaviour, and uses Client-Centred and Existential approaches to guide the work.

Client-Centred Therapy means the counsellor follows the person’s lead, offering reflective listening and space to make sense of feelings. Existential Therapy explores personal meaning, choices and responsibility when life feels confusing or stalled. Both approaches aim to increase personal understanding rather than apply fixed solutions.

Patrick has supported people with family and parenting concerns, adoption and foster care issues, divorce and separation, fatherhood questions and fertility matters. He also works with issues such as isolation, guilt and shame, midlife change, commitment questions and social anxiety.

Sessions discuss practical ways to manage stress, improve relationships and build confidence. Patrick accepts international clients and runs work from the United Kingdom. To begin, clients use the site matching process to arrange an initial session.

Working online with Client-Centred and Existential approaches

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the centre of sessions, with the counsellor reflecting what is said and helping surface feelings and priorities. This approach can help when someone needs a steady, listening presence to make sense of day-to-day difficulties.

Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice and responsibility. It is useful for people facing life changes, midlife challenges, doubts about direction, or struggles with loneliness and purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and decide together which methods suit the issue and the person. That collaborative process helps shape ongoing sessions.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which options are offered before booking. Online work can help fit counselling into a busy life by reducing travel time, making it easier to schedule short check-ins and allowing sessions from different locations. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need lower bandwidth options, depending on the formats the counsellor provides.
