Don’t feel like yourself at the moment? Feeling lost or hopeless? Maybe you’ve been existing in survival mode for so long you don’t really know who you are anymore. Need help working out how to get back to feeling yourself again?
Sometimes therapy can look at the surface level problems, the anxiety, overthinking, sadness or fears. But miss the root of the problem because they're not working with all of you. I’ve found if you work with the whole person instead of one part, there is more chance of creating meaningful change that lasts long after the therapy ends.

You might be feeling overwhelmed, lost, or disconnected—maybe from others, maybe from yourself, or from the life you hoped for. Perhaps you’re carrying trauma, anxiety, or the weight of holding everything together for too long. You may not yet have words for what’s wrong—and that’s okay. You may long to feel more in control, at peace, or simply more like yourself; to understand how your past or relationships shape your present; or just to breathe without needing to explain. Your goals could be healing, clarity, confidence, or self-acceptance—whatever matters most to you. - Thoughts, Feelings, Behaviours

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.
