Male Counselling in Kendal, ENG
Alongside our need for empathic connection the mindfulness element of my practice is seen 'merely' as 'intentional awareness' which experience shows can be applied from moment-to-moment to help us to see our patterns of 'stuckness' - at the heart of many problems - and to move beyond them.
I’m an Integrative Relational Psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience. The essence of my practice is 'person-centred' in that I am always led by the client's needs as presented to me. In this way 'therapy' is always grounded in the trans-formative power of trusting and collaborative relationships. Our work together should then stand as an open invitation to go beyond our sense of limitation and to help establish a greater sense of well-being, meaningful identity and purpose.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck, but aren’t sure why? Do you find yourself struggling with emotions that seem out of control, or behaviours that you can’t explain? You might be feeling disconnected, constantly on edge, or find yourself reacting strongly to situations that seem minor. These patterns and emotions may stem from trauma, which can leave lasting marks on your mental, emotional and physical health. Trauma isn’t just about what happened to you; it’s about how those experiences are affecting you now. You don’t have to live with these struggles alone.

If you're a loved one, maybe you've noticed your young person change from how they used to be. If any of this sounds familiar, I can help by providing a safe and open space to support you in overcoming these challenges. Please feel free to visit www.chpsychotherapies.com

I pride myself on supporting you to see how the often unconsciously adopted attitudes of others may be affecting you presently, for example ' men shouldn't be like that' or 'it's bad to show vulnerability'.
Have you ever felt bad for feeling the way you do? I have. Felt ashamed for feeling vulnerable, not ' man enough'. Ever apologised for your feelings or had them stigmatised, certain emotions being more palatable than others for some listeners. Been told how to grieve, to not feel that way or to just toughen up and get on with it? Throughout our lives we often - through no fault of our own - create coping mechanisms in difficult circumstances which will cause us to suffer ultimately when they are unaligned with how we truly feel and are based on the expectations of others, perhaps how a person should be in a certain situation.

I support clients struggling with family trauma, social anxiety and health issues. You may have found that over time the coping strategies you previously relied on have stopped working and patterns of behaviour from the past are holding you back. You may feel isolated and worn down by these old habits, no longer able to cope in the way you used to as it becomes harder to put a brave face on what is an increasingly challenging situation. Working together, with empathy and without judgement, in a safe, supportive and confidential environment, we can explore your experience and help you to find a better way forward that brings you joy.

I am a Counsellor based in Manchester offering In person and online sessions. Life can be challenging, and in places it can feel intolerable and overwhelming it can be difficult to know where to start unravelling this, how to make changes, what changes, if any, we need to make, and to try to make sense of why we feel the way that we do. 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.

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. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
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 a male therapist. 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, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. 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.
