About Patrick

Patrick Carter offers calm, non-judgemental support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem and depression. He aims to create a caring space where people can talk about what matters to them. Patrick introduces curiosity and respect into sessions so clients can explore what they want to change and why.

He works from a client-centred perspective, which means the conversation follows the client’s lead and focuses on their experience.

Background and approach

He also draws on existential ideas to help people consider meaning, values and choices during life transitions. Sessions are practical and conversational rather than full of jargon. Patrick is BACP, which is listed among his professional details, and he brings three years of practice experience.

He has helped people with family and parenting concerns, coping with separation, fatherhood issues, adoption and foster care questions, and relationship problems including infidelity and commitment worries. His work also covers other areas such as fertility concerns, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, social anxiety and phobia, men’s issues and midlife questions.

People often come for help with life purpose, anger, or managing big changes. Patrick offers sessions in English and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. He aims to support each person’s choices and to help them find clearer direction and greater confidence in day-to-day life.

How his approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room. The therapist listens closely, follows the client’s lead and reflects what the client says. This approach helps when someone needs empathetic listening, clearer self-understanding or confidence to make a change.

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility. It helps people who are wrestling with life purpose, midlife questions, loss of direction or major transitions. The work involves honest conversations about values and the kinds of life a person wants to create.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. That collaborative planning can change over time as needs shift.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, ongoing support or when writing feels easier than speaking. Registered or accredited professionals use these formats to make therapy more accessible for different lifestyles and schedules.
