Patricia Telfer, BACP

Patricia Telfer welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression or major life changes. She aims to make first contacts straightforward so people can get help without extra fuss. Patricia writes in plain language and focuses on practical ways to make day-to-day life more manageable.

Patricia uses a client-centred approach that puts the person's experience first. Sessions are built around listening carefully, reflecting what is said, and helping people find their own solutions. She describes her style as honest and direct, and she encourages open conversation without judgement.

With three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, Patricia has worked with people dealing with grief, relationship strains, sleep problems, parenting stress and anger. She also helps those wanting to explore control issues and build self-love. Some people choose a short series of sessions to clarify next steps, while others stay longer to work through deeper concerns.

Her work emphasises practical change and emotional understanding. Conversations often result in clearer thinking, calmer responses to stress, and plans that can be tried between sessions. Patricia aims to support people to become their own counsellor when therapy ends.

If you would like to begin, she asks you to make first contact so you can talk about what you need and whether her way of working might fit you.

Client-centred support and online therapy options

Client-centred therapy focuses on understanding the person's perspective. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects feelings and helps the client find their own answers. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes.

Patricia describes a direct, honest style that aims to make conversations clear and practical. She helps people clarify what matters to them and work out small steps they can take between sessions. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together, and she will discuss different ways of working to match your goals and preferences.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm which online options are available before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time, and have shorter check-in sessions when that suits your schedule. The therapist will work with you to find what fits your routine and needs.
