Patrick Carter, BACP, NCPS

Patrick Carter believes that when people are offered the right conditions, they can find the resources within themselves to work through difficult periods and build stronger lives. He cultivates a practice marked by genuine care, respect, and curiosity, inviting clients to bring whatever they are facing without judgement. His approach centers on listening closely and responding in a way that supports each person’s own pace and priorities.

Patrick is BACP registered in the United Kingdom, meaning he is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and he has three years of professional experience. He regularly works with individuals dealing with stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, challenges with motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and depression. Patrick aims to support and empower people as they take the courageous steps toward change, offering steady encouragement and a collaborative environment to explore new possibilities and practical ways forward.

Client-Centered and Existential Approaches in Online Therapy

Patrick works from a client-centered perspective that emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a non-directive stance. This approach helps people feel heard and supported as they explore personal challenges such as anxiety, low self-esteem, or relationship concerns. Existential therapy in his practice focuses on questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility, helping clients navigate life changes, uncertainty, and issues around purpose in a reflective way.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the journey, and Patrick treats that choice as a collaborative process. He will help clients identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the style of work as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Patrick is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, connect across distances, and maintain continuity of care during transitions or schedule changes, while allowing therapists and clients to focus on practical steps and therapeutic progress.
