About Patricia
Patricia Telfer is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress and life changes. She offers a straightforward, honest style that many clients find easy to talk with. Patricia works to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement.
She uses a client-centred approach, so sessions are shaped around what the person brings. That means the counsellor listens, reflects and asks practical questions to help people make sense of their feelings and choices.
Background and approach
Sessions can be short-term to clarify decisions or longer term to build coping skills. Patricia has three years of professional experience and holds BACP. She commonly helps with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and sleep difficulties.
She also supports people facing grief, anger, control issues and the strains of parenting and relationships. Her manner is direct and plain spoken. That can suit people who want clear feedback and practical next steps as well as emotional support.
She aims to help clients feel empowered to carry on without regular counselling when they're ready. Sessions are offered in English and are provided across video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. The counselling model and session format are chosen together, based on what the person needs and prefers.
Client-centred approaches and online sessions
Patricia works primarily with client-centred therapy, which means the counsellor follows the person's lead, listens closely and reflects what she hears. This approach helps people feel understood and supports them to find their own solutions for anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship stresses.Her straightforward manner adds practical focus to conversations. Rather than directing outcomes, she offers honest feedback and questions that help people organise their thoughts, manage control issues and plan next steps after grief or other life changes. This collaborative stance lets the person and counsellor decide together what to try next.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will discuss different ways of working and agree what fits the person's goals and preferences. That collaboration helps set clear aims and keeps sessions relevant to day-to-day life.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls work well for full conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or suit lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for ongoing check-ins, brief reflections or when writing helps someone order their thoughts. These formats make it easier to attend from different locations and schedules, and they allow the counsellor and client to choose the most helpful way to meet.
