About Patrick

Patrick Crabtree is a counsellor in the United Kingdom who supports people facing relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem and career stress. He also helps with coping when life changes feel overwhelming. Patrick aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult thoughts and feelings. He presents himself as a supportive guide during early steps towards change.

Patrick has four years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people understand patterns that keep causing pain. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage emotion, improve communication and rebuild confidence.

Clients can expect a calm, straightforward approach that balances listening with action. Patrick works with people to set clear goals and try out new ways of coping between sessions. He often addresses issues such as attachment, abandonment, codependency and commitment worries alongside presenting concerns like anger or career uncertainty.

He also supports parents and fathers who are dealing with role changes and the strain that caregiving can bring. Conversations may cover guilt, shame, isolation and finding a clearer sense of life purpose. Patrick aims to help people make steady, manageable changes rather than promising quick fixes.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Patrick accepts international clients and conducts work in English.

Evidence-based approaches and online working

Patrick uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people understand and change unhelpful patterns. One approach focuses on emotion regulation and practical strategies for managing anger and strong feelings; it helps people learn techniques to reduce reactivity and respond more calmly. Another approach looks at attachment and relationship patterns, helping people notice recurring ways of relating and try different ways of communicating to improve connections.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to identify goals, try methods that suit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. This lets the approach evolve to match changing priorities and what feels most useful in the sessions.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and allow appointments to sit around work or family commitments. Exact session formats are not specified here, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions useful for shorter check-ins, quieter conversations, or when it helps to avoid commuting.
