Patrick Crabtree, BACP

Patrick Crabtree helps people facing relationship struggles, anger, low self-esteem, career uncertainty and major life changes. He is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. He aims to make starting therapy feel straightforward and manageable for someone feeling overwhelmed.

He spends time listening to what matters most and what feels out of reach. Sessions focus on practical steps to manage strong emotions like anger and to rebuild confidence. Patrick encourages clear communication skills that can ease tension in close relationships and at work.

For people adjusting to separation, fatherhood changes, or shifts in life direction, he looks at patterns that keep problems repeating. He also supports those dealing with guilt, shame, loneliness, or struggles around commitment and codependency. The emphasis is on small, achievable changes that add up over time.

Patrick creates an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be named and understood. He discusses goals with each person and adapts sessions to what they need next. The process is collaborative and paced to suit the individual.

He holds a BACP credential, which denotes registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Patrick draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work while keeping explanations plain and practical. He accepts international clients and offers a range of online session formats.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Patrick uses evidence-based techniques that focus on clear goals and practical steps. One common approach helps people recognise and change patterns that cause recurring relationship or work problems. It involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, then practising alternatives that lead to better interactions and decisions.

Another approach concentrates on emotion regulation and anger management. This method teaches skills to notice strong feelings earlier, slow reactions, and choose responses that reduce conflict. It is useful for managing outbursts and rebuilding trust in close relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Patrick works with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, preferences and lifestyle, and he adjusts the plan as progress is made. The aim is to find methods that feel workable and relevant to everyday life.

Online therapy makes this flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when deeper discussion is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and different time zones.
