Together, we work towards greater clarity, resilience, and confidence in life.

My approach to psychotherapy integrates findings in attachment theory, neuroscience, trauma studies, relational psychotherapy and mindfulness. The structure of sessions or "where we will put our attention today" is negotiated with you at the beginning of each session and we will try to cultivate a mindful state of mind throughout the session in order to explore issues in more depth. Care will be taken to pace sessions carefully so that there is plenty of time for you to begin "processing" what arises in the session and to ensure that you do not become overwhelmed by what is explored.

Are you overwhelmed with events, feelings or relationships? Have you reached the point where you just need some support? You might be struggling with your past, with relationships, a bereavement or feeling a pressure to be something you're not. Many of my clients have had early life experiences that are really difficult to bear, contributing to anxiety, depression or both. They are coping, and surviving, but maybe in ways that they don't want to do any more.

If you're dealing with porn, compulsive sex, or a relapse cycle you can't break, you're in the right place. The pattern keeps coming back because the root has never been touched. Willpower fights the behaviour. My work goes to the source. Six years working with men 1:1 on this. I've been through it myself and know what it takes to close it for good. The anxiety, the stress, the emptiness underneath. That is what drives it. Each session we work through your specific triggers using Mind Shifting, clearing what sits beneath each one before moving to the next. You leave each session feeling the difference, not hoping something shifted.

Hi there, my name's Odin. The idea of counselling can be pretty unsettling. But you've probably done the hardest part already - you're here and you've accepted the possibility you might need some help with whatever's going on for you. That's already a really big and brave step. If you decide you might like to work with me, then we can safely and confidentially, with respect, compassion, empathy and gentle honesty, have a look at whatever's concerning you. Whatever it is, however hard it feels, I'm here if you want to look at it together.

This can be a very painful experience but however dark it may be today, doesn't mean tomorrow won't be lighter, counselling can offer an opportunity to be heard and to be understood. I work with clients from all backgrounds but have particular experience working with Addiction and with LGBT+ issues.

Hi, perhaps you may be living with trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, thoughts of suicide, or mood disorders. You might feel weighed down by past experiences, stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand, and unsure how to move forward. You want relief from persistent emotional pain and a greater sense of steadiness within yourself. Your goal is to feel safe in your own mind and body, to understand your story with compassion, and to build a life guided by choice rather than shaped by past wounds. While I have a personal mission to support male mental health, especially those who feel the pressures of the online world, I welcome all.

Many of my clients grew up feeling unseen or unheard — carrying childhood wounds, family dysfunction, or old patterns that still shape their lives today. Whatever issue has brought you to search for a therapist, I believe the heart of therapy is the relationship itself. When you feel truly seen and accepted, something shifts — old patterns soften, trust grows, and real change becomes possible.

Men's Issues Counsellors
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.

How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.

What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
