About Patricia
Patricia Hayward helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, and life changes. She also focuses on issues such as codependency, communication problems, jealousy, narcissism, and learning to practise more self-love. Patricia uses a straightforward, respectful approach to make starting therapy feel less daunting.
Patricia works in a client-centred way. That means she listens first and follows each person's pace.
Background and approach
She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what matters to them and find practical ways to cope. Her background includes six years of professional experience supporting people through difficult times. Patricia holds BACP, which reflects her standing with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
She values treating everyone equally and with respect. In sessions she focuses on clear, simple steps. Conversations often look at what is happening now, what people want to change, and small actions to try between meetings.
She helps people notice patterns - for example around relationships or self-worth - and experiment with new responses. Taking that first step can feel hard, and Patricia acknowledges that courage. She aims to be a steady presence while people work through loss, stress, or shifts in life.
Practical tools, active listening, and a non-judgemental tone shape her work.

How Patricia works online
In practice, the work looks at what matters now and what a person wants to be different. The counsellor will help set small, practical steps and review how those feel between meetings. Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work, and the therapist will collaborate with the client to try different ways of working until the right fit is found.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life, or travel, and they can reduce time spent on travel. They can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick review is helpful and make it simpler to keep continuity if plans change.
