About Patricia
Patricia Telfer is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief and anger. Patricia also supports people coping with relationship strain, parenting challenges, sleep problems, control issues and life changes.
She takes a straightforward, honest and no-nonsense approach in sessions. Patricia aims to create an atmosphere where people can speak plainly about what is worrying them. Conversations are practical. She helps people clarify thoughts and decide on next steps rather than offering abstract advice.
Some people work with her for a short series of sessions to sort out a specific problem. Others come for longer periods to manage ongoing difficulties. Patricia uses a Client-Centred Therapy approach, which means she listens closely and follows the person’s pace while reflecting what matters to them.
In a typical meeting she asks direct questions, helps name difficult feelings and looks for manageable actions the person can try between sessions. She pays attention to patterns such as control issues or self-critical thinking that can feed anger, stress or low mood. Sessions aim to leave people clearer about choices and next steps.
Patricia works in English. Before booking, people are advised to confirm current session options and practical details using the site’s matching and scheduling steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, reflection and following the client’s pace. It helps people who need space to name feelings such as anger, anxiety or grief and to make clearer decisions about next steps. This approach is grounded in straightforward dialogue rather than heavy technique, which can suit practical problems and coping issues.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt the way she works based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision-making is intended to keep sessions useful and focused on practical changes the person wants to try.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days, for example by avoiding travel, making it easier to schedule a short check-in during a break, or allowing conversations without needing to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use these practical benefits to keep work manageable alongside everyday life.
