Men and boys need to look after their mental health as much as women and girls, yet we are far less likely to seek help. We often push on in silence. You might feel a pit of sadness that never goes away, or you might have worries that eat away at you. Perhaps your anger gets out of control and leads to regrettable decisions, or maybe you have forced yourself to wear a mask and to look okay while there is turmoil beneath the surface.
After many years of working with males in mental health I know how to help guys move beyond that uncomfortable first step comfortably and on to the road towards improvement.

My aim to walk alongside couples to help them identify their own painful cycles of disconnection—where arguments repeat, intimacy fades, and both partners feel unheard or unseen. They may be navigating betrayal, communication breakdowns, or simply the quiet ache of growing apart. My aim is to create safety where couples can learn how to exit this negative cycle, rebuild trust and reconnect with one another and create renewed and deeper bonds their relationship.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
