Patricia Kellerman, BACP

Patricia Kellerman is a counsellor who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship worries and low self-esteem. She also supports those facing addiction concerns, grief, career doubts and challenges with intimacy. Patricia aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through what feels hard right now.

Patricia uses an approachable, practical style in sessions. She listens first and aims to understand each person's priorities before suggesting ways forward. Work might include noticing patterns in thinking and behaviour, trying new responses in small steps, and building everyday skills for coping.

Her practice draws on client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. Client-centred work keeps the pace set by the person attending. Cognitive behavioural approaches focus on how thoughts and actions affect mood and relationships. Mindfulness strategies help with grounding, managing strong feelings and reducing rumination.

With eight years of professional experience and BACP registration, Patricia blends listening with clear, achievable tools. She often helps people facing anger, abandonment fears, commitment worries and communication problems. She also supports those dealing with trauma, compassion fatigue and challenges related to ADHD.

People who come to Patricia can expect straightforward language and short, practical steps between sessions. She encourages gentle progress rather than perfection and works alongside clients to set realistic goals.

How Patricia’s approaches translate to online work

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person speaking and aims to follow their lead. In practice this means sessions begin by hearing what matters most and pacing the work to the individual. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts and actions link to mood and behaviour; online sessions can use clear, step-by-step plans and short exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and manage strong emotions, and these can be practised together in session and between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Patricia will work collaboratively to identify what feels most useful based on a person's goals and preferences. She starts with listening, then suggests practical options and checks in to adapt the plan as things change.

The original profile does not list specific session formats. Before booking, confirm which online options are offered. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel time and choose a quieter span of the day for a check-in. Online work also makes it easy to try short practical tasks between meetings and to use written notes or worksheets alongside conversation.
