About Patrick

Patrick Crabtree works on relationship problems, anger, low self-esteem, career issues and coping with life changes. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and has 4 years of professional experience as a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Patrick focuses on practical conversation and clear steps. He aims to help people name what is troubling them and try small changes that can make a difference. Sessions are spoken in English. International clients are accepted.

In sessions he listens to the facts of a situation and helps people think through options. He pays attention to patterns such as attachment or codependency that affect relationships and decision making. He also supports men with issues like fatherhood, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

For work-related concerns he helps with motivation, confidence and role changes. For relationship difficulties he looks at communication and commitment problems and at how past experiences, including abandonment or avoidant traits, can shape current behaviour. He also works with the stress of caring responsibilities.

Patrick describes his approach as straightforward and collaborative. He invites people to try different ways of managing anger, improving communication or exploring life purpose. He asks practical questions and sets small goals so progress can be noticed between sessions.

How Patrick uses evidence-based methods in online counselling

Patrick draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with common problems. One approach focuses on recognising patterns in thoughts and behaviour and testing small changes to see what helps, which is useful for low mood, lack of motivation and self-esteem issues. Another approach looks at relationship patterns and attachment, helping people understand how past experiences influence current communication and commitment problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Patrick collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and he adjusts the plan as progress is made. This means sessions can change focus over time, from managing anger to rebuilding confidence or improving communication.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also be helpful if someone needs to join from a different region, since international clients are accepted.
