Individual counselling · Online for people in Bolton
Online counselling from Bolton, with privacy and practicalities considered first.
Online counselling needs more than a working screen. It also needs a private place where you can speak without interruption and feel able to focus on the conversation.
I’m Patrick, an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist based in Stockport. I offer online individual counselling across the UK, including for people in Bolton, and we can discuss the practical fit before you decide whether to begin.

Enquire about an initial callSupport shaped around you
A conversation with a person, not a fixed formula.
I work in a humanistic, integrative 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.
Counselling can begin with a particular concern, a difficult experience or a feeling you cannot yet put into words. You do not need a diagnosis or a polished explanation before getting in touch.
