Patricia Campbell-Barnes, BACP

Patricia Campbell-Barnes is a compassionate counsellor who offers practical support to people feeling overwhelmed by stress, low mood, relationship challenges or a sense of being stuck. With three years of experience working with children, parents and families, she creates a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can be heard and supported.

She is a BACP member - that means she belongs to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and she holds a BA (Hons) in Counselling, an undergraduate degree in counselling practice. Patricia draws on a person-centred, integrative approach that adapts to each client’s needs rather than using a fixed formula.

In sessions she may explore how thoughts influence feelings, introduce mindfulness practices to ease overwhelm, gently work through past experiences and help develop self-compassion. The pace and focus are set by the client, with priorities guided by what feels most meaningful and helpful.

Patricia aims to help clients build clarity, confidence and greater emotional wellbeing. She offers steady support and practical tools, and welcomes the opportunity to accompany people as they take steps toward positive change.

Practical Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Patricia commonly uses person-centred methods that prioritise the client’s experience, offering empathy, active listening and support so clients can explore what matters most to them. This approach helps with issues like low mood, relationship struggles and feeling stuck because it focuses on the client’s goals and pace.

She also integrates mindfulness techniques to help reduce overwhelm by teaching simple attention and breathing practices that build emotional regulation. In addition, Patricia draws on cognitive-style techniques that explore how thoughts influence feelings, which can be useful for managing anxiety and unhelpful thinking patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia works with each client to identify the methods that best fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as therapy progresses to ensure a good fit.

Online therapy with Patricia is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without needing to travel, and they allow clients to choose the format that helps them engage most effectively.
