Patricia Telfer

Patricia Telfer is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and anger. She writes in a straightforward way and aims to make conversations feel natural and direct. Patricia presents as an open, honest practitioner who wants clients to feel able to talk freely.

Patricia uses a client-centred approach that keeps the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. She listens closely, reflects what she hears and works with clients to clarify thoughts and feelings. This helps people who are trying to make sense of depression, relationship strain, grief, sleep problems or other life changes.

She has three years of professional experience and holds BACP. Patricia says many people stay with her over longer periods, while others prefer a short series of sessions to plan next steps. Her style is plain and direct - she aims to be honest and practical in session.

Patricia emphasises supporting people to find their own ways forward. She can help with parenting stresses, control issues and building self-love. The aim is to work together so clients feel more able to manage day-to-day challenges after therapy ends.

To begin, she asks people to take the first step and start a conversation. That initial contact is used to match needs and to arrange the next practical steps for scheduling and planning sessions.

How client-centred work adapts to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping the person lead the pace of their progress. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what they hear, asks open questions and supports people to find their own answers. This approach can help with anxiety, anger, relationship concerns and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Patricia will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and will adjust the way sessions run in collaboration with each person. Together they decide how to focus sessions and what practical steps to try between meetings.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins between commitments. It also offers flexibility such as quieter, shorter conversations when that suits a person better. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use remote ways of meeting to help people access regular support without changing their routine.
