I must admit that after studying and working in mental health field for the last 10 years, I can now state that my fellow psychologists and counsellors have failed our society. I'm deeply disturbed by the fact that I cannot recommend any of my colleagues as professionals who could provide you with a worthy advice. The science of psychology has been corrupted a long time ago by global political agenda, which lead to production of homogenised society. Our uniqueness and, therefore, potential and right for happiness were stripped away by the same psychologists.

Sometimes in life, things just happen. What you are going through might be difficult to understand, process, or even view from a fresh perspective because of the varying shades of your own life experiences. The truth is, not knowing what to do next can make for a tough journey for any one of us. In times like these, it can be helpful to talk to someone, who will listen without judgment and provide a safe space for exploration, processing and healing.

Male Counsellors

As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?

There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.

How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?

Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client.

Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?

Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.

Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?

Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
