As we are thrown into the thick of life, it is our response to these circumstances which reveal who we are and where we may want to go. As life is anything but a linear process - we may often stumble or get stuck along the way. We may even describe the stumbling blocks as anxiety, depression, numbness or even shame. Some of our work could involve examining those stumbling blocks and challenging your ideas, choices and reasoning processes. I encourage you to remain open to all aspects and stimulate you to consider ones often overlooked.

I am a gay man and work with all sexualities.
The World today makes increasing demands on the individual and at times it almost seems to be shouting at us. Anxiety levels are at record highs. More than ever people need to be true to their own unique path in life and articulate their own meaning. Not having this can lead to unhappiness and depression. My approach is spiritual rather than religious, but I believe we have to know ourselves on a deeper level to live to our full potential. This involves understanding our childhoods, being in touch with our dreams and above all being able to live fully in the present

As a man of mixed heritage/race, I'm a strong advocate for people to explore and express their unique and overlooked experiences of being mixed heritage.
There is a freedom to art-making that is extremely powerful. It’s an incredible tool that is not only reflective, but healing too. As a fully qualified Art Psychotherapist, I support and encourage people to create and express their inner world, regardless of their ‘ability’ in a safe space without judgement. Art therapy also gives the opportunity for people to communicate where there isn’t a pressure to try and find the ‘right’ words. Instead, they can express in an instinctual way not bound to verbal language. People can bring themselves to this therapy that may have initially been difficult in a non-arts-based practice.

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.
