About Patricia
Patricia Telfer welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck or worn down by everyday life. She offers a straightforward, honest style and aims to make it simple to talk about what matters. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, for people who want clarity and steady support.
Patricia uses a client-centred way of working that puts the person's experience at the heart of each session. She listens carefully and reflects what she hears, helping people sort through thoughts and feelings so they can decide what to try next.
Background and approach
Some people come for a short block of sessions to gain perspective, while others keep meeting for longer support. Her background includes three years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Patricia aims to build an open atmosphere without judgement, and she speaks English for all sessions.
Common concerns she helps with include stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief and anger. She also works with parenting strains, sleep problems, relationship and family issues, coping with life changes, control issues and self-love. Sessions are aimed at helping people make practical changes and feel more able to manage day-to-day life.
If someone wants to begin, Patricia asks them to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. The next step is to schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability so a first appointment can be arranged.

How Patricia works online
Patricia's direct, honest style complements this way of working. Finding the right approach is part of the process, and she will work with each person to decide what helps most. Together they look at goals, preferences and practical needs, and adjust the work as understanding grows.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits. It can also make it simpler to meet from different locations and to choose a session style that fits everyday commitments. Registered or accredited professionals tailor sessions to what each person needs, and the choice of approach is made collaboratively.
