About Patricia

Patricia Telfer is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, anger and other life changes. Patricia aims to be direct and practical in sessions, making it easier for clients to speak openly and sort through difficult feelings.

Her style is straightforward and honest. She listens without judgment and asks practical questions to help clarify what’s happening. Some people work with her for a short period to make a plan. Others continue for longer to manage ongoing pressures.

Patricia uses client-centred therapy as the core framework. That means conversations focus on the person in front of her, their experience and what they want to change. The approach helps with feelings such as resentment, frustration, grief and difficulties around parenting or sleeping.

She also pays attention to control issues and building self-love. Sessions tend to centre on identifying patterns, testing small changes and practising different responses to tense situations. Clients who want clear, direct feedback will find that approach consistent throughout her work.

If someone wants to begin, Patricia asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. She works in English and does not take international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How client-centred work translates to online sessions

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own experience. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears and follows the client's priorities. This approach can help with anger, stress, low self-esteem and relationship tensions by making space to name feelings and decide what to try next.

In practice Patricia keeps sessions practical. The aim is to help clients spot patterns, try small changes and notice what works. She will work with each person to decide which parts of the client-centred approach suit their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue talking when life circumstances make in-person visits difficult. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, commonly find online sessions a practical way to maintain regular contact while working toward clearer ways of managing anger and stress.
