During a phone interview I was nervous and mistakenly told the interviewer that I was currently serving my notice period, however it actually finished one month ago. Is this likely to cause a problem and if so how can I communicate the correct information to the potential employer?

I've edited your question to try and make it a bit clearer, hopefully it still matches what you were trying to ask but feel free to roll it back if I've gotten it wrong! – motosubatsu Oct 05 '17 at 14:41

1If you finished your notice one month ago, that means you have been unemployed for a month? – gnasher729 Oct 05 '17 at 19:55

Just contact them an tell them the great news that you are available sooner than you thought.

And with the benefit of having a valid excuse to keep the communication channel open :) – brasofilo Oct 05 '17 at 19:05

Don't panic!
Assuming you would like to start sooner than the date you gave them on the phone interview (and/or you think being available sooner would be advantageous to your application) then e-mail or phone the contact who has been handling your application (hiring manager/recruiter etc) and let them know that you have an update to your availability and you are now free to start on x date instead.
As Daniel mentions in his answer they will probably see this as good news and there's nothing to worry about.
