About Patrick
Patrick Carter is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about anger, low self-esteem, parenting strain and major life changes. His aim is to support someone who wants clearer thinking and steadier emotions.
He works from the view that people already have strengths they can draw on. Sessions focus on listening closely, asking straightforward questions and helping clients notice what matters most to them.
Background and approach
That practical emphasis helps people make small changes that add up over time. Patrick trained and practices within Client-Centred Therapy and Existential Therapy approaches. Client-Centred Therapy centres the person and their experience, offering acceptance and empathy to build trust.
Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility when life feels uncertain or stuck. Patrick is BACP, NCPS and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He has worked with concerns such as parenting, family problems, divorce and midlife crises, as well as issues linked to adoption and foster care, fatherhood and fertility worries.
Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. He aims to work at a steady, practical pace and to help people find ways to manage day-to-day pressures while thinking about longer term goals.

Online support
Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, responsibility and choice when life feels confusing or empty. In remote sessions it can help someone reflect on purpose, make difficult decisions and cope with midlife or major life changes through guided discussion and personal reflection.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will test ways of working that suit you. That might mean trying short practical goals one week and deeper reflective work the next, or mixing conversation styles to match how you feel.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for richer conversation and seeing non-verbal cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter reflections or days when being on camera feels hard. These options make it easier to keep a steady schedule and access support from different places.
