ABOUT Patrick J Breheny Counselling
About Patrick Breheny: Your Counsellor
Hello, I'm Patrick Breheny, an experienced and qualified Integrative Counsellor and psychotherapist, proudly Accredited with the BACP. My commitment is to provide a safe, confidential, and compassionate space for your personal growth and well-being.
Born and raised in Manchester, my journey to counselling is enriched by a diverse background. I spent several years working directly in the construction industry, and my family owns a civil engineering company. This first hand experience gives me a unique understanding of the pressures, dynamics, and communication challenges within demanding work environments.
Beyond my private practice, my dedication to mental health extends to my role as a Director of a non-profit mental health Community Interest Company (CIC), deeply valuing community impact.
I believe in the power of effective communication and genuine connection, both personally and professionally. As a husband and father, I value creating supportive relationships, and I bring that same commitment to our therapeutic work. Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, trauma, addiction, relationship difficulties, or navigating bereavement, my work is fuelled by a deep desire to empower you to achieve personal growth and lasting transformation. I look forward to supporting your journey to change.

At the core of my counselling approach is the therapeutic relationship. I recognise that true progress blossoms from mutual trust and confidence. Our counselling sessions are built on genuineness, respect, and a commitment to open dialogue, creating a safe and supportive environment where you feel truly heard and understood. This trusting foundation is paramount for deep, meaningful work.

Specialising in Person-Centred Counselling, Transactional Analysis (TA), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), I adapt my approach to your unique needs and goals. Whether you're addressing current life challenges, seeking support for anxiety, depression, or addiction, or choosing to delve into the impact of unresolved childhood situations or trauma, I am here to develop and support your unique therapeutic journey.

Courage, Change, and Ethical Practice
I firmly believe in the inherent courage within each individual to embrace change and move forward meaningfully through counselling. Valuing authentic human connection above all, I am committed to upholding the utmost respect and acknowledgment of human rights within the therapeutic space. Together, we can embark on a transformative journey of positive change, self-discovery, and empowerment.
