About Patricia
Patricia Telfer welcomes people who are struggling with stress, low mood, anxiety or difficulties around self-esteem. She introduces herself simply and directly so people know what to expect. Patricia aims to make it easy to talk and to help clients feel heard without judgement.
Patricia works in a straightforward, honest way. She offers a calm space to talk through worries about relationships, parenting, grief, sleep or anger. She can also help with control issues, building self-love and coping with life changes.
How Patricia works
Her style draws on client-centred therapy, which means the conversation is led by the client and the counsellor follows with empathy and reflection. That approach suits people who need time to sort thoughts, gain perspective or plan next steps. Some people find a short course of sessions helps them move forward, while others stay longer for ongoing support.
Patricia holds BACP and has three years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She aims to empower people to manage difficulties and to build their own inner resources over time. When someone is ready to begin, Patricia works with them to set clear goals and practical steps.
Her practical, honest manner helps keep sessions focused and useful so clients can make steady progress.

Online support options
Approach and accessibility of online counselling
Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of every session. The counsellor listens carefully, reflects back what is said and follows the client's agenda. This approach helps when people need space to clarify feelings, make sense of life changes or plan next steps.Patricia brings a direct and honest manner to online work, focusing on practical goals and steady progress. She will work collaboratively to choose the methods that suit each person's needs and preferences, adjusting the pace and focus as the relationship develops.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited or when someone wants to avoid being on camera. Live chat and text messaging are flexible for short check-ins, ongoing reflection and for people who prefer typing to talking.
These remote options make it easier to fit counselling around work, parenting and travel. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to maintain continuity of care and to adapt sessions to the practical needs of each person.
