Imagine telling someone your deep rooted shame, guilt or fears. I would imagine that you would want to run the other way (and I wouldn't blame you, for that is a very scary prospect). However, I pride myself on creating a very safe and genuine space for you to slowly begin to share your life experiences and how they have shaped you. We can look at the people who caused you harm and maybe the people you wished they were there for you. Counselling is a process that works at your pace, and I will walk along that process with you, to gradually understand the guilt, shame and fear that has held you prisoner for far too long.

Hi, my name is Nicholas. I am a fully qualified counsellor and counselling supervisor. As a counsellor I draw on a variety of approaches to make best use of the time and the space for you. I believe working with the person in the room is the key rather than working directly with the presenting issue. I have extensive experience of working with adults and young people with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, low self-esteem, bereavement and loss. As an experienced counselling supervisor I can offer you the time to loosen knotted thinking, where you feel heard, held and supported and feel able to deal with demands of your role.

Life can be both beautiful and bleak, calm and stormy. Pain and suffering are inevitable parts of the human experience, and when these challenges arise, it’s not always possible to face them alone. As social beings, many of our struggles emerge from our interactions and experiences with others. Yet, with the right support, human connection has the power to bring about healing and growth.

Whether we are facing ongoing crises, looking back on difficult past experiences, feeling uncertainty, dissatisfaction, discomfort, or coping with general day-to-day stressors, counselling can be a helpful tool to improve our wellbeing. Talking things through can be important because, through being understood and accepted by others, we can better understand and accept ourselves, work out the changes we would like to make and how to achieve them, and, importantly, get through tough periods in life.

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.
