About Patricia

Patricia Hayward works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anger and coping with life changes, using a client-centred approach. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has six years' experience in therapeutic work.

Patricia keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what the person brings. She listens without judgement and helps people to talk through thoughts and feelings. Sessions tend to centre on the person's perspective and priorities rather than applying a fixed programme.

She has worked with a range of concerns including codependency, communication problems, jealousy, narcissism-related issues and building self-love. That background informs practical conversations about relationships and boundaries, and ways to manage stress day to day.

Her practice places emphasis on helping people notice what matters to them and try realistic changes. This can include exploring responses to grief, coping strategies for anxiety, and steps to rebuild confidence after setbacks.

Patricia’s experience in different settings over six years means she is used to adapting how she works to each person's needs. People looking to arrange a first session are invited to use the site's match and booking process to begin.

Costs vary with location and follow the site's subscription model which can be cancelled at any time.

How her counselling approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens carefully, reflects what the person says and supports them to make sense of their feelings. This approach is often helpful for issues such as low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns where personal meaning matters.

Patricia uses this way of working to prioritise what the person wants to focus on. She will discuss goals and adapt the pace and direction of sessions in collaboration with the client. Deciding on which approach to use is something she does with the person rather than imposing it.

Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions around work, study or family commitments and reducing travel time. Online appointments can make it easier to have shorter check-ins or to choose audio-only contact when video is not convenient. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available formats before booking to ensure they suit your circumstances.
