Patrick Crabtree, BACP

Patrick Crabtree is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship problems, anger, low self-esteem and career difficulties. He also supports those dealing with major life changes and the strain that comes with them. Patrick works in English and accepts clients from outside the UK.

He brings four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. In sessions he aims to build an open, non-judgemental space where people can say what they feel and think. He encourages small, practical steps so clients can try new ways of handling difficult situations between meetings.

Patrick commonly supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment worries, codependency, communication problems and commitment issues. He also works with anger, guilt and shame, feelings of emptiness, and the pressures of fatherhood and caregiving.

His approach is collaborative and down to earth. He listens first, then helps people identify what matters most and what can change. Sessions focus on realistic goals and everyday strategies to improve mood, confidence and relationships.

To begin, Patrick asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to his availability. The service uses a cancellable subscription payment model, and fees vary with location and therapist availability.

How evidence-based approaches can work online

Many therapists use evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical changes. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and try alternative responses in real life; it suits problems like low mood, confidence and relationship friction. Another approach pays close attention to patterns in relationships and attachment, helping people notice repeating behaviours and try new ways of relating when they feel stuck.

Finding the right approach is usually a joint process. The therapist will listen first to what matters to the client, then suggest options and agree a plan together. That plan can adapt over time as goals and needs become clearer.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing a quieter check-in during a work break. Because the original profile does not list supported formats, confirm the available session types before booking. Many people find remote work helps maintain continuity of care when schedules change or when living in different locations.
