You may be feeling under pressure, stuck, or disconnected in your work, relationships, sense of purpose, or how you see yourself. Many men carry stress quietly and feel unsure where to take it or how to make sense of what’s weighing on them. You may be experiencing anxiety, self-doubt, low motivation, or struggling with change or setbacks. You want a space to talk openly, gain clarity, and understand yourself better so you can move forward feeling steadier and more in control.

I'm Jon and welcome to Attached Counselling and Psychotherapy. We can all feel disconnected from the world around us, and even from ourselves. This may be represented in different ways: anxiety, depression, emotional distress, intrusive thoughts or unhelpful behaviours such as substance misuse or aggression. This can place strain on our day to day lives and affect our relationships with others. If this is pattern you recognise - maybe I can help?

I take the fact that you are looking at the possibility of entering therapy as a good sign.

If this sounds like your view of change then I have a wide range of experience with both individuals and couples to accompany you on your journey and have a encouraging and supportive approach.

Sometimes we need to talk. Or unload. Or work out what needs to change. Sometimes we need to do this with someone who's NOT family or a friend or colleague - someone who can listen deeply and confidentially, with fresh ears - with no bias or judgement. Someone who's steady, accepting and unshockable. What does counselling with me look like? Well, there's no one-size-fits-all. I will tailor it to your needs, session by session. You may have clear objectives, or none at all. It's all ok. We can work it out. I'll certainly want to get to know YOU as a human being, not just the 'issue' you're bringing.

A client grieving the loss of a loved one, or a client feeling the loss of something significant in their life such as their job or status need a safe space and time to allow themselves to express difficult and sometimes paradoxical feelings. They may well want to start making sense of what has happened and start working towards what their new reality is in an open non-judgemental accepting space. Those looking to alleviate anxieties need techniques and strategies for the immediate and longer term as well as a place to look at what is the trigger to their anxiety.

As the demands of day to day living have increased so have the levels of stress, anxiety and depression, these being a subsequent cause of personal and professional relational issues, therefore it is understandable, even acceptable that therapy has become a favourable option to help many of us address our challenges. It is my experience that therapy can provide us with a real opportunity to attain fresh understanding for the events cause us distress in our lives.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
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.
