About Patrick
Patrick Carter offers calm, straightforward support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger and low self-esteem. He works with clients who are facing depression, parenting pressures and life changes. He also has a focus on adoption and foster care concerns alongside other relational and personal issues.
Patrick aims to create a respectful, curious space where people can talk about what matters to them. He believes most people can find ways forward when given understanding and time. Sessions are non-judgemental and paced to match each person’s needs.
He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and holds a credential with NCPS.

He describes his role as supporting and empowering people rather than prescribing one fixed route to change.
Patrick draws on client-centred ways of working that put the person’s experience at the heart of the session. He also uses ideas from existential therapy to help people consider meaning, choice and responsibility during life transitions. These approaches are used to address practical problems as well as deeper questions about purpose and identity.
People interested in starting can expect simple, honest conversations. Patrick focuses on clear goals and small steps that fit into everyday life. He encourages people to try things between sessions and reflect on what helps them move forward.
How these approaches guide online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of conversations. The therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear and helps clients find their own solutions. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, relationship strain and parenting concerns by strengthening self-understanding and confidence.Existential Therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice and responsibility. It helps people facing life transitions, doubts about purpose, midlife shifts or the strain of major decisions. The work often involves talking through values and options rather than following a set programme.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patrick will talk with you about your goals and preferences and help decide which methods fit best. Sessions are collaborative and adjustments are made as you learn what helps most.
