Individual counselling · Online for people in Chester
Online counselling in Chester, starting with a straightforward conversation.
You do not need to arrive with everything organised into the right words. You may have one concern in mind, several things that feel connected or only a sense that something needs attention.
I’m Patrick, an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist based in Stockport. I offer individual online counselling across the UK, including for people in Chester.

Before you decide
What the first conversation can settle
A free initial telephone consultation gives us approximately 15 minutes to speak before any counselling session. It is not a counselling session or a commitment. It is a practical first step.
How online sessions work
We can discuss privacy, the online format and the practical arrangements. Before the first session I confirm how we will meet and provide the joining information you need.
Whether the fit feels right
You can ask about my approach and professional standing. We can consider whether working together may feel right for you before you decide what to do next.
A place to start
Space to understand, not pressure to perform.
We can use counselling to explore what you are carrying, understand patterns and consider what you would like to change. The focus and pace are shaped around you, with warmth, empathy and respect for your experience.
