Dobrze wiem jak to jest, kiedy problemy przygniatają i trudno uwierzyć, ze będzie lepiej. Czasami przywróceniu nadziei sprzyja zwykła szczera rozmowa i zobaczenie sytuacji z innej perspektywy. Swoja ofertę kieruje do osób, które żyją poza granicami kraju. Tę sytuacje rozumiem, bo sam jej doświadczam. I know, what it is like, when problems are overwhelming and it is difficult to hope, that it will get better. What helps to restore hope is sometimes simple and honest conversation and seeing a situation from a different perspective. Sometimes it takes time and an effort, commitment and work to feel better.

Most people find themselves in dark or confusing places at times throughout their lives, questioning who they are, wrestling with difficult questions, trauma, illness, addiction or bereavement. Sometimes people don't have anyone to share these challenges with or can't share them with those close to them. Despite proverbs about sharing problems, as a society we don't really encourage people to open up. I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to do this. I hope to offer a space in which you can feel safe and respected while you explore these challenges and move towards improved mental well being.

My approach is grounded in nurturing and presence, shaped by a commitment to seeing my clients as more than their struggles or labels. I work with people who want to feel more like themselves again – or who are still trying to work out who that is. I’m especially drawn to working with those who feel deeply, think hard, or have been told they’re “too much”. Many of my clients have spent years hiding themselves to feel safe or accepted, and they come to me in the aftermath of having been misunderstood, diminished, and invalidated.

Hello, I am David, an experienced qualified Pluralistic counsellor. I believe no single counselling approach will fit every client and presenting issue. Person-centred and psychodynamic in outlook and attitude, I tailor my approach to each client, using the therapeutic approach that best addresses and resolves the client's problems. At the heart of my counselling style is the belief clients heal through exploring how their issues arose, where these come from, and crucially how to make the changes needed to feel at ease with themselves. I help clients do this by moving away from people-pleasing to being true to themselves.

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.
