About Patrick
Patrick Crabtree helps people facing relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, career uncertainty and major life changes. He offers a calm presence and straightforward support so clients can talk through difficult feelings and make clearer decisions. Patrick has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
He works to build a non-judgemental space where clients can name what is troubling them and find practical ways forward.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of him. Conversations are aimed at understanding patterns, improving communication and managing strong emotions. He also helps people dealing with issues such as abandonment, attachment worries, codependency and feelings of emptiness.
Patrick offers help around fatherhood concerns, commitment or separation, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness. He supports people exploring life purpose, making career shifts, and coping with the stress of caregiving. Therapy is collaborative and paced to the client.
Patrick encourages small experiments between sessions, simple tools to handle anger, and practical steps to build self-esteem. He frames progress in terms of clearer choices and more manageable days. If you prefer to work remotely he accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client’s routine.

Therapeutic techniques and online sessions
Patrick uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and building practical skills. One common approach involves exploring how past attachment and relationship experiences shape current reactions; this helps people recognise unhelpful patterns and try different ways of relating. Another helpful method targets emotion regulation and anger management by teaching simple tools and small behavioural experiments to reduce reactivity and improve communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts methods over time so the sessions feel useful and relevant. This is a collaborative process aimed at matching techniques to what the client wants to change.
Online therapy here includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is often used for fuller conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can be better when lower bandwidth or hands-free time is needed. Chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, managing anxiety between sessions, or when writing helps people express themselves. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep progress moving forward.
