Men often carry heavy burdens silently, feeling pressured to hide their struggles. But inside, they're hurting. They suffer with tough emotions like sadness, anxiety, addiction, and past traumas. Therapy is like a safe harbor in a storm. It's a place where guys can open up in a safe, non-judgemental space. It helps them untangle their feelings, heal old wounds, and discover their true selves. My role is to support men with the tools and insight to tackle life's hurdles with strength and confidence. Whether its your first time seeking help or you are looking for something new, we are here to support you. Book a free consult today!
Through our work, men develop the tools to become un-stuck in life, develop awareness, gain new tools, and are able to move on with a healthier outlook on their story. They also re-design relationships with themselves and those closest to them. I work with clients to not only address the symptoms, but also the root causes that have led them to this point.
Our specialities include: ADHD, men's issues, career guidance, sexual addiction, grief, video game addiction, gambling, alcohol use, addiction, infidelity, anger management, behavioural issues, anxiety, and depression. We also offer couples counselling and therapy for partners looking for support. Reach out to us by phone, email, or visit our website!
