Patricia Telfer, BACP

Patricia Telfer is a UK-based counsellor with three years of professional experience and registration with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has experience supporting people who are dealing with stress, anxiety and depression, and she works to build an environment in which thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.

Patricia combines a straightforward, honest and no-nonsense style with a warm, approachable manner, which many clients find makes it easier to talk openly. Her practice includes both longer-term support and shorter blocks of sessions; some clients benefit from ongoing work while others use a few focused weeks to clarify their thinking and plan next steps.

Clients who work with Patricia often describe practical benefits from her supportive interventions, and she aims to help people develop the skills to manage difficulties independently. She frames therapy as a collaborative process that empowers clients to move toward a more fulfilling life. Prospective clients are invited to make contact to begin a conversation about their needs and goals.

Client-Centered Support and Online Access

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client as the expert in their own life, with the therapist providing empathy, active listening and gentle guidance to help people explore their thoughts and feelings. This approach is often helpful for issues such as stress, anxiety and low mood because it fosters self-awareness and personal growth, allowing clients to set the pace and goals for their work.

In practice Patricia also offers shorter, focused blocks of sessions for clients who want to clarify their thinking and make a plan for change, alongside longer-term support for those who need ongoing help. Both ways of working emphasize practical, honest feedback and collaborative goal-setting to support real-life coping and decision making.

Online therapy with Patricia is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and for people who prefer remote access. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, reduce travel time and allow clients to connect from locations across the United Kingdom. Registered professionals, including therapists, can adapt methods to suit each client so that the approach feels right for their needs and preferences.
