Patricia Campbell-Barnes , BACP

Patricia Campbell-Barnes is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of experience supporting children, parents, and families through periods of stress, low mood, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges and depression. She holds a BA (Hons) in Counselling - an undergraduate degree in counselling - and is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Her work is person-centred and integrative, shaped around each individual’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all model. In practice this can mean exploring how thoughts influence feelings, introducing mindfulness exercises to reduce overwhelm, gently processing past experiences, and encouraging self-compassion. Patricia adapts techniques from evidence-based therapeutic approaches to suit the client and the presenting issue, working at a pace that feels manageable and respectful.

Patricia has experience addressing a wide range of concerns, including abandonment and attachment issues, caregiver stress, dissociation, domestic violence, family problems, hoarding, isolation and young adult transitions. She focuses on collaborative goal-setting and practical steps that foster clarity, resilience and greater emotional wellbeing, offering people a supportive space to be heard and to work through what matters most to them.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Patricia uses person-centred practice and integrative techniques to tailor therapy to each person's needs. Person-centred therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where clients lead the pace and direction of work, which is helpful for relationship issues, grief and feelings of isolation. Integrative work combines elements from different evidence-based methods - such as exploring how thoughts influence emotions and introducing mindfulness - to address stress, anxiety and low mood in a flexible way.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Patricia works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best with their goals, preferences and life circumstances. Together they review progress and adjust techniques as needed so the approach remains useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for those seeking support. Video calls and phone sessions allow for a therapy rhythm that fits around work, family and caregiving responsibilities, while live chat and text-based messaging provide additional flexibility and easier access from different locations. These options make it possible to work with licensed professionals and therapists without needing to travel, helping people maintain continuity of care alongside their everyday commitments.
