You may know what you want to talk about, or simply feel that something is not right. I offer a private, supportive space to explore what is happening, at your pace.
I’m Patrick, an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist based in Stockport, Greater Manchester. I offer online individual counselling for people in Manchester. If you would rather meet face to face, I also work from my practice in Stockport.
Enquire about a free initial callApproximately 15 minutes by telephone.
Both are individual counselling sessions with me. The useful difference is practical: online sessions let us meet remotely while you are in Manchester, while face-to-face sessions mean attending my Stockport practice.
This may suit you if you prefer to meet remotely and have a private place where you can speak without interruption.
If being in the room feels more suitable, I also offer face-to-face individual counselling from my Stockport practice.
The free initial telephone consultation gives us approximately 15 minutes to discuss what has brought you to counselling, any practical questions and whether working together may feel right for you.
Talk through the optionsI 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.
More about me and my approach →When you contact PJB Therapy, you are enquiring about individual counselling with me, Patrick J Breheny.
The initial call gives us a chance to speak directly and consider whether working together may feel right for you.
No. You join an online session from a private place where you can speak without interruption. Face-to-face counselling is a separate option at my Stockport practice.
You need a private place where you can speak without interruption, a suitable device and a reliable internet connection. I will confirm the joining arrangements before the first session.
An individual counselling and psychotherapy session lasts 50 minutes and costs £70. The initial telephone consultation is free and lasts approximately 15 minutes. You can check the live fees page for current information.
Privacy, comfort with meeting remotely and whether you want to attend in Stockport are useful points to consider. We can talk through the practicalities during the initial call before you decide whether to begin.
If you are in Manchester and would like to ask about online counselling, a brief outline of what has brought you here and your preferred contact method are enough to start. Please do not include highly sensitive clinical details in an ordinary email.
