About Patricia
Patricia Hayward helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in mood, or overwhelmed by grief. She supports individuals dealing with relationship worries, anger, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. She also focuses on issues such as codependency, jealousy, communication problems, narcissism and building self-love.
Patricia works in a straightforward, person-centred way. She listens first and follows each person's pace. Sessions are practical and rooted in everyday language so people can use what they learn between meetings.
Background and approach
With six years of professional experience, Patricia draws on gentle, respectful conversations to help people untangle difficult feelings. Her approach aims to make space for what matters most to the client and to help them find clearer choices for moving forward. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
That registration is noted here as part of her background and professional standing in the United Kingdom. People come to Patricia when they need a calm space to talk things through and work out next steps. She offers guidance on coping strategies, improving communication, and nurturing greater self-esteem.
Her style is warm, non-judgemental and focused on the person's needs rather than jargon. To begin, she encourages people to take one small step toward help and she will arrange sessions that fit their circumstances and goals.

Approaches Patricia lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
The right approach often becomes clear together. Patricia will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful during early sessions. She works collaboratively to adapt the focus and methods so the work matches the client's needs and progress.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see and hear each other for fuller communication, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the therapy process steady and consistent.
