More about Patrick

  • 4 years' experience
  • Male
  • BACP

Welcome to my page at BetterHelp. It's Ok to talk.

I am a fully qualified counsellor registered with the BACP with over 4 years of professional work experience and seeking accreditation soon.

I have experience in helping clients with Depression and Anxiety, workplace burnout, stress, relationship issues, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, amongst other areas.

I have a motivational, pragmatic, solution based style, and I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

We can tailor a programme to suit your unique and specific needs. If you've never been to therapy before my Integrative training means I can use a variety of skills to suit the client, not fit the client to one specific area of expertise.

For those that know they want CBT, I am qualified to offer this on it's own - or as many actually prefer; blend it's greater coping skills/strategies/exercises into a more normal counselling session.

Taking the first step to seeking help can seem quite daunting but I try to make it something to actually look forward too.

My most recent experiences has been helping NHS professional staff in a time of crisis and I'm sure that they would testify to this.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
