About Patricia
Patricia Kellerman helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety and changes in their relationships. She offers straightforward, calm support so clients can talk through what matters. Patricia is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation, bringing eight years of practice experience.
Her approach starts with building an open, non-judgemental space. Sessions aim to let clients name difficult feelings and work out practical next steps. Patricia listens closely and uses techniques that help people feel more able to cope day to day.
How Patricia works
Patricia draws on client-centred ways of working, which keep the person's own goals at the centre of the work. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness practices are introduced where they fit, helping people manage stress and return to the present moment.
Clients often bring concerns such as grief, addictions, intimacy-related worries, low self-esteem or trouble with career decisions. Patricia also supports those facing trauma, compassion fatigue and life transitions. Her additional focus areas include attachment and communication problems, codependency and issues around commitment or abandonment.
Therapy can be conducted by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Patricia works collaboratively to set goals and adapt the way she works to each person's needs. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make that step easier to take.

Approaches you might use in online therapy
Patricia uses client-centred work to keep the focus on what the person wants to achieve. This approach involves reflective listening and gentle questioning so clients can clarify goals and feel heard. It works well for people who need a safe space to make sense of their feelings.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and the actions that follow. Patricia uses practical exercises and simple experiments to test new ways of thinking and behaving, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Mindfulness techniques are offered to help people settle racing thoughts and reduce stress. Short breathing and attention exercises are used in sessions and as homework to build steady coping skills over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will talk with each client about their needs, goals and preferences and then tailor the mix of methods. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made if something does not fit.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling busy lives. Video calls are close to an in-person session and allow visual connection. Phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera or need a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy around work or caring commitments and can be used for between-session check-ins or brief check-ups.
