About

Shirley Patterson is a qualified counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) in England and has 6 years of professional experience. She is a female, older therapist based in the United Kingdom who works one-to-one with people seeking support for grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, career difficulties, depression, coping with life changes, and relationship issues.

She practises person-centred counselling, an approach that gives the individual space to explore their problems and feelings. Sessions are led by the client rather than directed by the therapist, with Shirley offering support to help each person find their own ways of managing and coping with the challenges they face.

Her working style is warm and respectful, focused on creating an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Shirley listens attentively, gives time to speak, and checks her understanding of a person’s experience. She recognises that life events and crises can compound stress, and she aims to empower people as they take the first steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

For many common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable to traditional in-person sessions. It can offer an effective way to address everyday mental health needs without requiring travel to a clinic.

A major benefit is flexibility. People can connect with a therapist in the format that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - making it easier to fit support into a busy schedule.

All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and there is the option to change therapists at any time if someone feels a different fit would be better. Online therapy can therefore be a practical and accessible option for those seeking help for common emotional and life concerns.
