Prof Patrick McGhee

Psychotherapist

“Fully accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist; Doctorate University of Oxford.”

About Me

I offer a collaborative space to explore thoughts and behaviours that might be holding you back. As a Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist, I focus on practical, evidence-based strategies. We can work together to navigate difficulties like anxiety or low mood. My aim is to help you build coping skills and develop clearer perspectives. Clients find this grounded approach empowers them to create meaningful, lasting change.

Approach

Grounded in evidence and my Oxford training, therapy begins with clear, focused goals we agree on and measure progress against. In Chorley or online, sessions move at a practical pace: we map unhelpful patterns, test short experiments in-session, and set manageable between-session steps so skills generalise. I combine structured, skill-based tasks with mindful reflection to address anxiety, anger, stress and relationship difficulties, adapting methods to your needs. Those seeking pragmatic, steady progress often find this way of working suits them.
