You do not need to have it all worked out.

We can use the time to explore what you are carrying, understand patterns and consider what you would like to change.
You might want to talk about
- Anxiety, worry or low mood
- Self-esteem and relationships
- Trauma or distressing experiences
- Addiction recovery
- Bereavement, loss or life changes
A conversation with a person.
Not a fixed formula.
I’m Patrick, an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist based in Stockport. I work in a humanistic way, with warmth, empathy and respect for your experience.
I draw on Person-Centred counselling, Transactional Analysis and CBT where they fit your needs. The relationship we build is central to the work.
More about me and my approach →From the first conversation to your session.
Talk about what you need
The initial telephone call is a chance to share a brief outline, ask questions and discuss whether working together may be right for you.
Agree the arrangements
Before the first session, I will confirm how we will meet and provide the joining information you need.
Make space for yourself
Choose a private place where you can speak without interruption, with a suitable device and internet connection.
A few practical questions.
If you are unsure about any aspect of online counselling, we can talk it through before you decide.
Is online counselling right for me?
Online counselling removes the journey to the therapy room, but having privacy and feeling comfortable with the format matter too. If either feels difficult, mention it during the initial call so we can discuss the options.
Can I enquire for a young person?
My counselling practice works with people aged 11 and over. If you are enquiring for someone under 18, please get in touch to discuss their circumstances and whether online or face-to-face work may be appropriate.
How is confidentiality handled?
Before counselling begins, I explain confidentiality and its limits. The privacy notice explains how the practice handles your information.
Where can I check fees?
Individual counselling is £70 for 50 minutes. You can check the fees page for current information, including concessionary spaces.
Would you like to talk it through?
A brief outline of what has brought you here is enough to start.
