Patricia Telfer, BACP

Patricia Telfer welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed or stuck. She helps those dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. Her style is direct and down-to-earth, and she aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings.

Patricia uses a client-centred approach. That means she listens first and follows the person's lead, helping them feel heard and understood before suggesting next steps. She focuses on practical ways to cope with anger, grief, sleeping problems and life changes.

With three years of professional experience, Patricia draws on straightforward conversation and clear feedback. She often works with people for a few weeks to sort out immediate problems, and with others for longer to build skills and confidence over time. She aims to help people recognise patterns and make realistic plans for change.

Parents who are dealing with the strain of raising children can seek support for parenting concerns and finding balance. She also helps people who struggle with control issues or want to build more self-love. The work is collaborative and paced to what each person needs.

Patricia is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and sees clients based in the United Kingdom. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire so appointments can be arranged.

Client-centred care delivered online

Patricia practises client-centred therapy, which means she listens closely and follows the person's concerns. This approach helps people feel understood and often suits worries like anxiety, low self-worth and stress. It focuses on the person rather than a strict technique and aims to build self-awareness and confidence.

Her straightforward, honest manner is aimed at making sessions practical and focused. In conversation she helps clarify thoughts, spot unhelpful patterns and agree small steps forward. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative - she will work with each person to find what fits their goals and preferences rather than imposing a single method.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual contact helps the conversation. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or work better where bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging let people write through issues or fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to arrange appointments around work, family or other commitments and to maintain continuity across weeks.
