About Patricia
BACP counsellor Patricia Telfer has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, sleep problems, parenting challenges, anger, coping with life changes, control issues and self-love.
Patricia uses a client-centred approach and keeps sessions direct and straightforward. She aims for honest conversation and encourages clients to say what they think. The initial phase usually focuses on what feels most pressing and on practical ways to cope day to day.
Her sessions often help people clarify their thoughts and make short-term plans. Some people work with her for a few weeks to get perspective on a specific problem. Others stay longer to build steady ways of managing ongoing difficulties.
Patricia emphasises open conversation without judgement and a clear, no-nonsense style. She supports people to understand their feelings and to develop skills they can use outside sessions. Work can include talking through difficult feelings, looking at patterns that cause distress and trying small changes to test what helps.
Clients are encouraged to consider what they want from counselling at the start. Patricia explains options and helps agree practical goals. The emphasis is on straightforward, everyday language and on methods that fit the person’s life and needs.

How client-centred approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective. The therapist listens without directing the conversation and reflects what is said back. This approach helps when someone wants to make sense of feelings like anxiety, low mood or anger and to decide on next steps at their own pace.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and agree how to proceed. That discussion is collaborative and can change as needs do, so the method used can shift over time.
Practical benefits of remote work can include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and shorter check-ins when needed. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions reduce travel time and help them keep regular contact with a therapist while managing day-to-day responsibilities.
