About Patricia

Patricia Campbell-Barnes offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, low mood, anxiety or relationship strain. She welcomes parents and adults who want a steady space to talk things through and find manageable ways forward. Patricia is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP, and uses that framework in her practice.

Patricia trained to a BA (Hons) level in counselling and has three years of experience working with a broad range of concerns.

Background and approach

She listens without judgement and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and easy to follow. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what small steps could make daily life easier. Her work is person-centred and integrative, which means she shapes sessions around each person rather than sticking to a single method.

This can include looking at how thoughts affect feelings, using simple mindfulness exercises to reduce overwhelm, and building self-compassion for difficult moments. She also helps people process loss and make sense of attachment or abandonment worries. Patricia supports people facing caregiving stress, isolation or life-stage changes such as ageing and retirement.

She also helps with hoarding concerns, forgiveness, finding life purpose and the strain of intellectual disability within family roles. Practical problem solving is offered alongside emotional work. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged online.

She works collaboratively, helping people set clear goals and check progress as therapy continues. The aim is steady, realistic change rather than dramatic promises.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Patricia lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Patricia uses person-centred work to begin, which focuses on listening carefully and letting the person lead what feels most important. This approach helps people feel understood and choose the pace of their own change. She also draws on mindfulness techniques that teach simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce overwhelm and manage anxiety.

She works integratively, blending these methods with gentle exploration of past experiences when helpful. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client check what is working and adjust goals and methods together as therapy progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls can replicate a face-to-face conversation and are useful for more in-depth work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break in the day. Live chat and messaging offer ongoing check-ins and the chance to reflect in writing between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around family life, work and travel.
