About Patricia
Patricia Telfer helps people work through stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship concerns using a straightforward, no-nonsense style. She uses Client-Centred Therapy and has three years of professional experience. Patricia is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and practises in the United Kingdom.
Patricia works in a direct and honest way. She offers a calm space for people to talk through difficult feelings. Sessions focus on listening and reflecting to help clients find clarity and make practical plans for change.
Her approach is rooted in Client-Centred Therapy, which emphasises the person’s own perspective and ability to find answers. Patricia aims to help people recognise what matters to them and make steps towards those goals. She often supports people through short courses of sessions as well as longer work when needed.
Patricia regularly helps people facing parenting pressures, grief, sleep difficulties, anger and control issues. She also supports those working on self-love and coping with life changes. Her work covers both immediate practical concerns and longer-term patterns that cause distress.
Sessions are conversational and direct. Patricia sets out clear ideas and options so people can decide what feels useful. The overall aim is to help people leave counselling with clearer thinking and practical ways to manage day-to-day life.
How Patricia uses Client-Centred work for online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective and capacity to make changes. It involves listening carefully, reflecting what the person says, and offering a non-directive presence that helps them clarify choices. This approach is useful for issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns.
Patricia’s straightforward and honest style fits well with Client-Centred work: she aims to be clear about options and to help clients spot practical next steps. Finding the right way of working is part of the process, and she will check in with each client about what helps, what does not, and any adjustments to the approach or focus that are needed. The work is collaborative and based on the client’s goals and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around everyday life, such as shorter check-ins during a work break, sessions without video when bandwidth is limited, or speaking from a quieter space. Many people find these practical benefits useful when organising regular sessions with a registered professional.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
