About Patrick
Patrick Carter is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and holds NCPS recognition. He has three years of professional experience supporting people who cope with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem and depression. He also works with concerns around parenting, family dynamics and life changes, including social anxiety and phobia.
He uses clear, straightforward conversation to help people notice what matters to them. Sessions are patient and respectful, and he listens for the practical problems and patterns that keep people stuck. People leave with a clearer sense of what they want to change and small steps they can try between sessions.
Client-Centred Therapy is a central part of his approach. That means the conversation follows the person’s concerns rather than a rigid set of steps. Existential Therapy also informs his work, drawing attention to values, choices and the search for meaning when life feels confusing or stalled.
Patrick has helped people manage anger, rebuild confidence after relationship difficulties, and cope with feelings of isolation or shame. He pays attention to everyday pressures like work stress, parenthood and midlife transitions, and practical impacts such as motivation and social avoidance.

How his approaches work for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own concerns and pace. In practice this means the talk follows what the client brings, with the counsellor reflecting and clarifying so people can see patterns and options. It is useful for anxiety, stress and confidence problems where being heard matters more than a fixed protocol.Existential Therapy looks at values, choices and meaning. It helps when life changes, isolation or questions about purpose make decision-making feel heavy. This approach can help people notice what matters to them and decide on practical next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patrick will collaborate with each person to agree what to try first and how to adapt methods as needs and goals become clearer. That discussion continues over the first few meetings so the plan fits the client’s preferences.
