About Patricia

Patricia Hayward helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. She supports those dealing with grief, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, anger, and issues like codependency, jealousy and communication difficulties. Patricia writes plainly and focuses on making the first steps easier for clients who feel overwhelmed.

She works in a warm, non-judgemental way that aims to make talking feel straightforward. Conversations centre on what the client brings each week and on practical ways to cope between sessions.

Background and approach

Patricia uses a client-centred approach that places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. Patricia has six years of experience working with people in the United Kingdom. She is listed with the BACP, which appears in her professional details.

Her style is respectful and down-to-earth, encouraging people to move at a pace that feels right for them. Sessions tend to focus on immediate concerns first, then build towards longer-term changes when the client is ready. Patricia helps people develop clearer communication, stronger self-worth, and ways to manage difficult feelings.

The emphasis is on practical steps and steady progress. Those seeking help are invited to take a small first step by answering a short matching questionnaire and arranging a session. Patricia aims to make the process as simple as possible so people can begin when they feel ready.

Ways of working Patricia names

Client-Centred Therapy

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

Client-centred support delivered online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening carefully to the person in front of the counsellor. The therapist reflects what is said and helps the person voice their own goals. This approach can be helpful for people facing anxiety, low self-worth, grief or relationship confusion because it builds understanding at the client’s pace.

In practice, the work begins by exploring what matters most now. The therapist and client decide together what to focus on and which steps to try between sessions. This collaborative way of working means the approach can change as needs and goals evolve.

Online formats used include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when visual connection helps the conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or for people who prefer writing rather than speaking.

These options give flexibility for people juggling work, childcare or travel. Patricia will work with each person to choose the format and pace that fits their life and helps them make steady progress.
