About Phatcharee
Phatcharee (Patch) Welling uses an existential approach to help people find meaning and direction when life feels confusing or overwhelming. She draws on person-centred values to build a respectful, compassionate space where people can speak honestly about stress, anxiety, relationships and loss. Patch aims to help people feel steadier and more able to cope with change.
Patch has seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP and NCPS credentials.
Background and approach
She works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, bipolar and depression, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports people facing parenting challenges, career decisions and compassion fatigue. In sessions she pays attention to the body, feelings, mind and sense of meaning rather than just symptoms.
Conversations are tailored to the person in front of her, and she adapts the rhythm of sessions to meet individual needs. She uses elements from attachment-focused work and cognitive approaches when they suit someone’s goals. Patch aims to share practical tools alongside reflective dialogue.
That can mean learning coping strategies, testing small changes between sessions, or practising ways to manage strong emotions. Her style is warm and direct, with an emphasis on building resilience and clearer self-understanding. Starting therapy is often hard, and Patch treats that step as significant.
She encourages people to notice small progress and to shape therapy around what they hope to achieve.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Existential therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice and responsibility. In practical terms that often means exploring what matters most to a person, what feels empty or stuck, and which small decisions might change daily life. This approach can help with grief, emptiness, and major life changes.Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and coping. It helps people notice patterns in connection and distance, and it offers ways to practise safer, steadier relating. That can be useful for communication problems, fear of abandonment, or intimacy-related issues.
Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens with empathy and adapts the conversation to match the client’s pace. This approach supports people who need acceptance and clarification before trying new strategies.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to a person's goals, preferences and practical needs. Together they decide which blend of approaches feels most helpful and adjust as progress is made.
Online therapy through video, phone, live chat or text messaging offers practical flexibility. Video calls suit fuller conversations and non-verbal cues, phone sessions require less bandwidth, live chat can work for shorter check-ins, and messaging allows ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life or travel while keeping the focus on meaningful change.
