About me and my therapy practice

COUNSELLING APPROACH

I take an interested humanistic approach to therapy, that everyone deserves unconditional positive regard, empathy and compassion and to learn how to become compassionate towards themselves. The therapy space will be safe and I believe that everyone has the resources and resilience to move towards change.

Relationship building is the foundation of my counselling approach, I believe that exceptional work and progress is achieved when a relationship gains trust and confidence. The client needs to trust me and I need to trust the client, the whole process is always a two way street. Counselling relationship is built on Unconditional Positive Regard, Empathy and Congruence (Realness), once these are in place and felt; therapy happens. I strive to create a positive and safe place for the client to share their issues/problems and never think I know more about you than you do.

My Counselling approach is centred around the client, I am trained in Person- centred Counselling, Transactional analysis and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Counselling does not need to be narrow or singular I believe that it can be tailored to the needs and wants of the client. My approach can either work with your here and now issues or go deeper into unresolved childhood situations which need working through.

I sincerely believe that people have the courageousness to move forward in a way that is meaningful to them in therapy. I value connection, and that all people should be treated with the utmost respect and as a human being with human rights in therapy space.

Practice description

As a Manchester native, husband, and father of three, I deeply value connection and clear communication, integrating counselling principles into all aspects of my life. I also serve as a Team Leader for Change Grow Live, a drug and alcohol charity, further demonstrating my commitment to supporting individuals facing significant challenges. I'm passionate about empowering others to navigate change and find genuine fulfillment, and I derive immense satisfaction from witnessing their progress.

My extensive experience spans diverse settings, including GP surgeries, detox units, community drug and alcohol services, and private practice. This breadth of experience allows me to work effectively with a wide spectrum of issues. I have a particular interest and experience in working with bereavement, an area where I have personal understanding of the profound impact loss can have. I also support individuals struggling with anxiety, self-harm, suicidal ideation, addiction, and depression.

Furthermore, I have a solid background working within the NHS and various charities, specializing in substance misuse and diverse mental health challenges. My expertise extends to conditions such as PTSD, OCD, specific phobias, social phobia, health anxiety, and more. I understand the debilitating power these issues can hold and have a proven track record of helping people break free from their grip.

My integrative approach means I draw upon various therapeutic models to tailor my approach to each individual's unique needs. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is essential for growth and healing, and I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly. I'm committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based support, empowering you to develop coping strategies, build resilience, and ultimately achieve lasting well-being. I'm here to walk alongside you on your journey toward positive change.

About me and my therapy practice

Patrick Breheny - Clinical Supervisor & Integrative Counsellor/Psychotherapist (BACP)

I'm a highly experienced and qualified practitioner offering both clinical supervision and therapy. My Level 7 training in clinical supervision is grounded in the Seven-Eyed Model, providing a robust framework for supporting supervisees in their professional development. This model allows for a comprehensive exploration of client work, ethical considerations, and the supervisee's own process, fostering growth and reflective practice.

As a BACP-registered Counsellor and Psychotherapist, I also bring extensive experience working directly with clients facing a wide range of challenges. This dual perspective informs my supervisory approach, allowing me to understand the complexities of client work from both sides.

Practice description

Clinical Supervision:

I provide a supportive and challenging space for supervisees to explore their work, enhance their skills, and navigate ethical dilemmas. My Seven-Eyed Model approach allows for a multifaceted understanding of the therapeutic process, including:

The client: Understanding their presenting issues and needs.

The client in the system: Considering the broader context of their lives.

The therapist's interventions: Examining the effectiveness of chosen approaches.

The therapist's process: Exploring their own reactions and countertransference.

The supervisory relationship: Utilising the relationship as a vehicle for learning.

The supervisor's process: Reflecting on my own contributions to the supervisory dynamic.

The wider context: Considering professional, ethical, and societal influences.

I work with qualified and trainee counsellors/psychotherapists across various modalities. My aim is to empower supervisees to develop their unique style, enhance their clinical judgment, and maintain ethical practice.

My first session

What to expect (Supervision):

First session: We'll discuss your experience, theoretical orientation, and specific supervision needs, ensuring a good fit for our working relationship.

Supervision: A confidential, collaborative space to reflect on your client work, explore challenges, and develop your skills. We'll focus on enhancing your clinical judgment, ethical practice, and self-awareness as a therapist.

My focus: Empowering you to develop your unique supervisory style, integrate the Seven-Eyed Model into your practice, and navigate the complexities of the therapeutic relationship.

Contact me to discuss your supervision or therapy needs.
