About Patricia
Patricia Telfer offers straightforward, no-nonsense support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. She presents as warm and approachable and aims to make it simple to talk about difficult feelings. Patricia is BACP accredited and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.
She uses a client-centred way of working that keeps the person’s needs at the heart of each session. That means listening first, reflecting what is said, and helping people make sense of painful thoughts and emotions.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and focused on what matters now. Patricia helps people manage common worries such as sleep problems, anger and low self-esteem. She also supports those facing life changes, grief, parenting strain and relationship issues.
She will work with control issues and the development of self-love when these come up. Her style is direct but empathetic, aiming to equip people with clearer thinking and practical ways to cope. Some people find a few sessions help them plan next steps, while others prefer longer-term support to build new patterns.
Getting started is straightforward: complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. Patricia encourages people to take the first step when they are ready and to expect a calm, honest space for talking.

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
Patricia treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will work with the person to identify goals and adjust how sessions run to suit needs and preferences. That might mean a few focused sessions to clarify next steps, or ongoing support to build new habits and coping skills.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and more natural conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a good fit for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit quick or flexible exchanges and can be easier to fit around work or family commitments.
These options make therapy more accessible and adaptable to everyday life. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to provide consistent support, whether someone needs brief clarification or longer-term work.
