Ian has many years of experience as a social worker, empowering people on the back of an understanding that no significant learning takes place without a significant relationship. Those relationships could be personal, work related, social or political and there are by many environmental factors that have an influence upon those relationships. It was on this premise that Ian moved into a counselling role. Many people, if not all people, will at some time encounter an emotional crisis while in a relationship at home as a partner or a parent, at work, or socially and it is at times like these that a person may seek a counsellor.

Men are often taught not to reach out for help. You may have been made to believe that to seek help for yourself was to admit weakness or that it would make you a burden. Maybe you don't know where to start. But you've been thinking about getting professional support for some time now, that's why you are here. You know you need help, maybe because you're experiencing social anxiety or an overwhelming difficulty to get out of bed. You might no longer enjoy the things that used to make you happy, or you're having darker, more intrusive thoughts. It's starting to impact your relationships, your work & your physical health.

Relationship Issues Counsellors
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
