About Phatcharee
Counsellor Phatcharee (Patch) Welling is a BACP and NCPS registered practitioner with seven years of UK practice. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, coping with life changes and a wider range of concerns listed in her specialisms.
Patch offers a conversational way of working. Sessions focus on what is happening now and how past attachment patterns might shape current difficulties. She uses client-centred conversations alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and, where appropriate, hypnotherapy techniques to help people identify patterns and try practical changes.
She pays attention to emotional responses, bodily experience and thoughts rather than only labelling symptoms. That means sessions can include noticing physical reactions, looking at unhelpful thinking and practising different ways of responding in everyday situations. This approach is intended to give concrete steps people can use between sessions.
Patch also draws on existential ideas about meaning and choice when clients face big life changes, loss or questions about identity. She names attachment and family of origin issues when these help explain relationship patterns and recurring difficulties. Her work includes topics such as addiction, eating and sleeping problems, grief, anger and compassion fatigue.
Sessions are held in the United Kingdom and are conducted in English. She accepts international clients. To begin, users follow the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session.
How her therapeutic approaches work in online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships. It helps when patterns of closeness, trust or fear repeat in adult life and cause stress or relationship strain.Client-centred therapy focuses on open conversation and the person’s own perspective. The counsellor listens without directing, aiming to help people clarify what matters and decide on next steps.
Cognitive behavioural therapy puts attention on unhelpful thoughts and everyday habits. It offers practical experiments and small changes to try between sessions, which can suit issues such as anxiety, sleep and mood problems.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and agree a plan with the client based on needs, goals and preferences. That way the approach can be adjusted as the work develops.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list 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 let people take part from different places if that helps maintain continuity of care.
