About Patricia
BACP. 8 years of professional experience. Patricia Kellerman works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, motivation and self‑esteem using client-centred ways of working and practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness.
Patricia meets people who are feeling overwhelmed by life changes, grief, addiction-related problems, compassion fatigue or workplace pressure. She also supports people with intimacy-related issues, anger and difficulties around commitment or communication. Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, feelings of emptiness, codependency and infidelity.
Her approach is straightforward. She uses client-centred counselling to listen and reflect what matters to the person in front of her. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to look at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems active. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with stress, anxiety and grounding in the present.
Sessions tend to involve talking through specific problems, trying practical exercises and agreeing small tasks between meetings. Patricia aims to help people notice changes they can make day to day and to build coping skills that fit their life.
She works in the United Kingdom and conducts her practice in English. To begin, clients follow the service's process to match with her and schedule an initial meeting. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and remote counselling
Patricia uses client-centred counselling to prioritise the client's experience and what matters most to them; this approach focuses on active listening and reflecting rather than directing the conversation. Cognitive behavioural therapy, as she uses it, involves identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and testing small changes to reduce distress. Mindfulness therapy in her practice includes simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce stress and improve focus. Finding the right way of working is part of the work itself. Patricia discusses options with each person and decides together which approaches to try based on the client's goals and preferences. She treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts methods as progress is reviewed. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work, care responsibilities or travel, and it can allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited. Many people find remote sessions useful for maintaining continuity of care during life changes, while still being able to use practical CBT exercises and mindfulness practices between appointments.Areas of expertise
