Patricia Kellerman, BACP

Patricia Kellerman welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low confidence or changes in their relationships. She writes in a straightforward way and aims to make first steps feel manageable. Patricia holds BACP credentials and brings eight years of experience to her practice.

Patricia spends time helping people talk through what matters most to them. She focuses on everyday problems like motivation, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, with space for feelings and facts.

She uses client-centred methods to make sessions feel collaborative and respectful. Cognitive behavioural ideas are available to spot unhelpful thinking and try small changes. Mindfulness techniques are used to notice the present moment and reduce reactivity.

Patricia also works with people facing grief, trauma and addiction concerns. She helps with intimacy-related worries, anger and communication problems. Career stress and compassion fatigue are included among the issues she supports.

Her style is calm and encouraging. Sessions aim to be a place to sort priorities, build coping skills and practise new ways of responding. Patricia encourages realistic goals and checked-in progress rather than quick fixes.

If someone is unsure where to begin, Patricia suggests starting with a short questionnaire and an initial session to agree goals. She explains options clearly so people can decide what fits their life and needs.

How Patricia uses client-centred, CBT and mindfulness online

Patricia draws on client-centred work to listen carefully and set goals that matter to the person. This approach focuses on the person in front of the therapist, helping them feel heard and shaping sessions around their priorities.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps identify patterns of thinking that keep problems going. It uses simple experiments and practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can help with anxiety, low mood and motivation.

Mindfulness methods teach noticing present-moment experience with less judgement. These practices can reduce reactivity to stress and provide tools for managing anger, grief and compassion fatigue.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Patricia will collaborate with each person to try different ways of working and pick methods that suit their goals, needs and everyday life. She checks in regularly to adapt the plan if something is not helpful.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy schedule, avoiding travel, and shorter check-ins when needed. The exact session formats supported should be confirmed before booking so people know what to expect. In general, online options can make it easier to maintain regular appointments and apply what is learnt directly into daily routines.
