About Patricia
Patricia Hayward is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those dealing with relationship problems, trauma and abuse, anger and coping with major life changes. Patricia welcomes people worried about codependency, communication problems, jealousy, narcissism and building self-love.
Patricia works in a warm, respectful way. She believes the first step towards help can feel the hardest, and she offers steady support while people find their feet.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual in straightforward, practical terms. Her practice draws on a client-centred approach, which puts the person’s experience at the centre of each conversation. Patricia listens closely and mirrors what she hears back so people can understand their feelings more clearly.
This style often helps with anxiety, stress and grief where being heard matters. With six years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Patricia has worked with a range of everyday concerns. She aims to make therapy manageable and relevant, using simple tools and clear goals rather than jargon.
People usually begin by describing their current challenge and what they hope to change. From there Patricia and the client shape a plan together, checking in as things evolve. Her approach is steady, patient and centred on the person sitting in the room.
How client-centred work fits with online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what is said and helps the person find their own solutions. This approach is useful for anxiety, grief and self-esteem concerns because it helps people feel understood and clearer about their next steps.Patricia uses that same person-focused stance online to tailor conversations to each person’s needs. Finding the right approach is part of the work; she will discuss goals and preferences and together decide how to proceed so the method suits current problems and hopes for change.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people speak face to face and see non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or suit people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection and written notes to re-read between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on steady, person-centred support.
