About Patricia

Patricia Hayward is a counsellor who helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anger, and big life changes. She uses a calm, patient manner and aims to make the first step feel less daunting. Patricia works in English and sees clients across the United Kingdom as well as internationally.

She draws on client-centred therapy, which means conversations are guided by the person's needs and pace.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and helping people find their own solutions. Patricia keeps the work straightforward and practical so clients can use what they learn between appointments. Patricia has six years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which indicates adherence to professional standards.

That experience includes helping people cope with codependency, communication problems, jealousy, narcissism-related issues, and building self-love. Sessions are offered in different formats to fit busy lives, and Patricia supports people who prefer video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Her approach suits people who want a respectful, non-judgemental space to talk through difficult feelings and decisions.

People who meet with Patricia can expect a collaborative tone. She explores goals with each person and adapts the pace and focus to suit their needs. The work is aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How client-centred work adapts to online therapy

Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens without judgement and helps the client find their own answers. This approach is useful for concerns such as low self-esteem, grief, anxiety, and coping with life changes because it supports self-directed insight and personal agency.

Patricia emphasises a calm, responsive style in sessions. She aims to work collaboratively to identify goals and to adjust pace and focus as therapy unfolds. Together they decide which techniques and formats suit the client’s needs and comfort level rather than following a fixed plan.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging gives practical flexibility. Video can help preserve face-to-face connection; phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection, or people who find typing helps them express things more clearly. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the focus on steady progress.
