About Patricia

Patricia Kellerman is a counsellor who helps people facing stress and anxiety, including panic-related concerns. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through difficult feelings and find practical ways to cope. Patricia writes plainly and works alongside clients to make starting therapy feel manageable.

With eight years of experience she draws on simple, evidence-informed methods to guide sessions. Patricia uses client-centred work to follow what matters most to each person, and cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness practices are also included to help with grounding and daily coping skills.

She commonly supports people with relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, motivation problems and grief, and has worked with issues such as addiction, trauma and career stress. Additional focuses include attachment and communication problems, commitment worries, feelings of emptiness, and struggles with guilt or shame.

Patricia is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She practises in the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English. International clients are not currently accepted.

People who choose her often want straightforward, practical steps alongside a listening ear. Sessions aim to balance talking through what’s happening now with simple tools to try between meetings. To begin, readers can use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to arrange a time.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Client-centred therapy puts the person's concerns at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens closely and follows the client’s pace, helping people name what matters and decide the next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going and testing small changes in everyday life to reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness therapy offers simple attention and grounding exercises that can reduce reactivity and help with stress and panic symptoms.

Finding the right mix of approaches is something to explore together. Patricia will work collaboratively to identify which methods sit best with a person’s goals, needs and preferences, and adapt the work as progress is made. The therapy relationship is a shared process rather than a fixed prescription.

Please confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments, and offering options that suit quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth. Many people find these practical advantages help them maintain consistency and try therapeutic tools between meetings.
