About Patricia
Patricia Kellerman is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationships and self-esteem. Patricia also supports clients facing grief, addiction, ADHD and major life changes.
Patricia uses clear, practical conversation to help people understand what keeps them stuck. She asks questions, listens to how problems show up day to day, and helps people spot small changes they can try. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and on building skills they can use between meetings.
Her approach draws on client-centred work, which means she follows each person’s pace and priorities. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to test different ways of responding. Mindfulness techniques are used to help people notice stress reactions and find calmer ways to respond.
People who struggle with people-pleasing, boundary issues or feeling lost in relationships often come with very practical goals. Patricia helps clients name those goals and break them into manageable steps. She talks through ways to set limits, to reduce overwhelm, and to reconnect with values and interests.
Patricia’s background includes focused work on abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency and communication problems. She combines conversational reflection with exercises and short home practice so progress can continue outside the session.
How sessions work
How Patricia applies therapeutic approaches online
Patricia combines client-centred conversation with cognitive behavioural work and mindfulness practice. Client-centred work means the counsellor follows the client’s pace, listens closely and helps the client set the agenda. This approach suits people who need time to name what matters and to feel heard before trying changes.Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps spot thinking patterns that maintain worry or low mood and tests small behavioural changes to see what shifts. Mindfulness practice is used to notice physical and mental stress reactions and to try brief exercises that reduce reactivity.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the process. The counsellor will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. That collaboration can include checking progress and adapting techniques as needed.
Practical benefits of online working include fitting sessions around work and family routines and reducing travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to maintain regular contact and to apply what they learn between appointments.
