About Patricia
Patricia Kellerman is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, motivation and self-esteem. Patricia also supports people dealing with grief, addiction, compassion fatigue and life changes. Sessions are conducted in English.
Patricia uses straightforward, conversational work to help people talk through problems. She pays attention to what matters most to each person and adapts the pace to suit them. Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness exercises to make changes that feel manageable.
In practice Patricia helps people name the patterns that get in the way of day-to-day life. She will work with thoughts, behaviours and practical steps to reduce symptoms of anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness techniques are used to develop calmer attention and reduce reactivity.
People often come with relationship strains, family problems, commitment and communication issues, or worries about intimacy. Patricia also supports adults coping with abandonment, guilt and shame, isolation and career stress. She listens for how past experiences affect current choices and responses.
Sessions aim to be clear and goal-focused without pressure. Patricia asks questions, reflects back what she hears and suggests simple exercises between meetings. Her work is practical and paced to fit everyday life.

How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding a person's experience by listening without judgement and reflecting what is heard. It helps people clarify their feelings and priorities so they can decide on steps that feel right for them.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to test unhelpful thinking patterns and change behaviours that maintain anxiety or low mood.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm in stressful moments. These techniques can be useful for anxiety, anger and coping with strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will discuss what matters to the individual and try different methods as needed. She works collaboratively to choose exercises and goals that fit the person's day-to-day life and priorities.
Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around parenting, work or other commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when life is busy or reduce the need to travel to an appointment.
