About me and my therapy practice

ONLINE/REMOTE ONLY

ADHD SPECIALISM

"Brendan was really excellent - I felt listened to, understood and really validated in my feelings for the first time and I got some really useful insights into my feelings, and thoughts through the process of sharing"- Healthbox C.I.C client

Hello, My name is Brendan and I am an Integrative counsellor dedicated to helping people move towards a more positive and fulfilling life. I support individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, addiction, ADHD, bereavement, and other challenges that we all face at different points in life.

I’m particularly interested in understanding people’s life stories, their values, and their sense of purpose. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches and creative tools to make sure our sessions fit your unique needs. While I offer different methods, I believe that the heart of effective therapy is the trust and connection between us.

I’m approachable and relatable, with a background in community arts that has given me the privilege of working compassionately with a diverse range of people and issues. I’ve supported asylum seekers, refugees, veterans, people with disabilities, those affected by addiction, and many others. I’m here to listen, understand, and help you on your journey towards healing and growth.

I am currently available for remote sessions only (Face to Face sessions in bespoke settings in North Staffs & South Cheshire Coming Soon)

For a free 30 min consultation session please contact me:

Practice description

I am an integrative practitioner. This means we have the option to tailor the talking therapy to suit your individuality. I have Narrative/Attachment narrative, Systemic and Psychodynamic sensibilities but also draw on Person centred approaches. Having worked in brief and short term therapy settings I also am able to offer a solution focussed approach.

What you can expect from me as a counsellor:

A compassionate and empathetic listener who will seek to gain a true understanding of your life situation in order to help you move into a more positive and fulfilled state of being.

Someone who will not offer unsolicited advice but will challenge you where appropriate to help you move positively through therapy.

Someone who works within his competencies. If I believe you would be better served by another counsellor I will happily signpost you to someone who I think maybe better served to help you.

Someone who works to the BACP ethical framework and try to uphold ethical principles in the way I work.

My first session

Seeking out someone to talk to when you feel vulnerable or in crisis can be a daunting place to be. Looking for a therapist is no exception to this.

Talking therapy can be a life changing experience. When we are committed to the process of therapy, personal growth and positive change can happen. However, I believe this is contingent on finding the right therapist. The therapeutic relationship is key in the long term effectiveness of therapy.

I offer a 20-30 minute consultation on our first get together to see if we are a fit to embark on a therapeutic relationship. When we have established we are able to work together, we will look at any therapeutic interventions you may have had in the past and what worked well...and what not so well. We will also explore what your expectations are of counselling and what you would like to get out of our sessions together. We will then organise regular 1hr sessions (usually every week or fortnightly).

The cost of sessions is £45 per session (£40 for students and pensioners at a concessionary rate).

I also offer a 10% discount on block purchases of 6 sessions (including the concessionary rate)
