About Patrick
Patrick Yardy is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience. He works with people facing addictions, grief, low self-esteem and depression, and supports those coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English.
He focuses on straightforward, person-centred work. He listens to the problem you bring and helps you speak through what matters most. Conversations aim to be honest and non-judgemental. He encourages practical steps you can try between sessions.
Many clients come for help with drug and alcohol addiction, sex addiction and obsessive or compulsive behaviours. He also has experience supporting people affected by HIV and AIDS and those managing personality disorder difficulties. He will talk through what you want to change and what a useful next step might be.
His main method is Client-Centred Therapy, which places the client's perspective at the centre of each session. That approach is used across the concerns he lists, from depression to grief and addictive behaviour.
Patrick uses plain language in sessions and keeps plans simple. He asks about your goals and adapts the pace to what feels workable. To begin, you complete a short questionnaire and arrange a first session through the online matching process.

How Client-Centred practice works online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's own experience and understanding. The therapist listens without directing the conversation and helps the client find their own solutions. This approach can help with depression, self-esteem issues, grief and the emotional side of addiction.That person-focused style supports open discussion about difficult topics such as drug and alcohol use, sex addiction or obsessive behaviours. The counsellor will explore what matters most to you and agree together which steps to try next. Finding the right approach is collaborative; Patrick will discuss options and adjust the way he works to fit your goals and preferences.
If you want to arrange remote sessions, check the available session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Many people choose remote therapy because it can fit more easily around work and family, reduce travel time, and make shorter check-ins possible. Confirm current session formats and scheduling details when you complete the matching questionnaire so you know what to expect.
