Patricia Kellerman , BACP

Patricia Kellerman is a counsellor who focuses on women's issues and related personal challenges. She offers calm, practical support for people carrying stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or trouble with relationships. Her approach is down-to-earth and aimed at helping clients feel heard and get clearer about next steps.

Patricia uses a blend of client-centered work, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness practices. Sessions are aimed at helping people spot unhelpful patterns, test small changes and build coping skills that fit their life. She keeps language simple and helps clients break worries into manageable pieces.

Her background includes eight years working with a wide range of concerns such as grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, career uncertainty and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with intimacy-related issues, anger, ADHD and feelings of isolation. Patricia draws on this experience to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.

In the room she aims to create an open, non-judgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. Therapy can include gentle mindfulness exercises, practical homework or conversational exploration depending on what the client prefers. The work is collaborative and paced to the individual.

People who choose Patricia often want clear, manageable steps forward. She helps with communication problems, commitment issues and problems linked to attachment or abandonment. Her style suits someone who wants a realistic, steady approach to change.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Patricia draws on client-centred work, cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness to guide online sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience, helping people feel heard and accepted as they talk through concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, behaviours and feelings so small experiments and practical steps can reduce distress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that help people notice the present moment and respond less reactively.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. Patricia will work collaboratively to match methods to the client's goals and day-to-day needs, adjusting pace and tools as progress is made. This helps ensure the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexibility and fits different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and deeper connection, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can suit a quick check-in, while live chat or text messaging lets people send thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and other commitments, while still using evidence-based techniques in a practical way.
