About Patricia
Patricia Telfer offers calm, direct support for people dealing with stress, anxiety and low mood. She introduces a straightforward, honest style that helps clients talk things through without feeling judged. Patricia aims to make talks feel easy so people can take practical steps forward at their own pace.
Patricia uses Client-Centred Therapy, which means she follows the person's lead and focuses on understanding their experience. Sessions are conversational and clear, with space to reflect and make sense of difficult feelings. She encourages development of self-compassion and better ways to cope with day-to-day pressures.
Her experience includes working over three years with people facing anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She supports those coping with grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger and big life changes. Additional areas of focus include control issues and building self-love.
Patricia describes her approach as honest and no-nonsense, while remaining warm and supportive. Some people find a short course of sessions enough to clarify next steps. Others choose ongoing work to develop lasting coping skills and new perspectives.
To begin, she asks people to make contact and start a conversation about their needs. That first step is used to agree on goals and a plan for sessions that fits the person’s life and priorities.
How Client-Centred Work Fits Online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following what matters to the person. In practice this means the therapist reflects what is said, asks simple questions and gives space for someone to make sense of their feelings. This approach often helps with anxiety, low mood, relationship worries and coping with life changes.Patricia's straightforward, honest style pairs with the Client-Centred focus to keep sessions practical and person-led. Together the client and therapist can discuss goals, try small changes and check what helps. Deciding which ways of working to use is collaborative and can change over time as needs and aims shift.
