Sometimes, being part of the LGBTQ+ community can be a very lonely existence, and we are not all ‘out and proud’ or lucky enough to feel part of a wider LGBTQ+ family. You may be experiencing isolation, shame, or perhaps you have faced rejection from your family or friends. I do not assume that your struggles are related to your sexuality or gender, but if you are trying to deal with something specific in your personal life, or are simply overwhelmed and feeling alone in your current situation, I can offer you a private and non-judgemental space for the exploration of anything which may be causing you pain.

While I work effectively with individuals from all walks of life, I have found a particular calling in supporting males. I recognise that some men may find it challenging to access or express their emotions, and I take pride in creating a space where these feelings can be safely explored. To support this, I often use creative techniques in therapy, such as using art-based activities, which can help uncover and express emotions that may feel difficult to articulate in words.

My clients are often reflective, thoughtful people who feel stuck or disconnected from who they are. They may struggle with self-criticism or people-pleasing, or feel that life has lost direction. Some may be adjusting to a recent diagnosis like ADHD or Autism or AuDHD and experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression. Together, we explore what sits beneath these patterns, looking at identity, attachment, and meaning, to build understanding, self-compassion, and movement towards change. My approach draws on a range of strategies, offering warmth, honesty, and a space to reconnect with yourself and live more authentically.

Everyone faces challenges at various points in life. Some experiences can unsettle our sense of self, bringing sadness, pain, or confusion. No one is immune to hardship or trauma, but even in overwhelming moments, hope and healing are possible. Taking the step to allow yourself to feel better is both important and courageous. Therapy provides a space to pause, reflect, and make sense of what’s happening in your life. Together, we can explore your inner world, understand how past experiences may be influencing you now, and discover new, healthier ways to cope with challenges.

Hey, How are you? I'm Sarah, I am a qualified counsellor who understands how difficult it can be to answer that question of how you really are feeling. Therapy can be a daunting experience; with so many types of therapy available, it can be difficult to know where to start. Whether you are new to therapy or have experienced it before, I aim to offer a warm, non-judgemental space where you can share your experience and we can work together to feel empowered to understand the difficulties you may be experiencing. I have professional and lived experience and truly understand how things can often feel overwhelming.

Are you faced with difficulties, feeling angry, sad or anxious? I understand the reason you are seeking counselling may not be in relation to any specific issue. For example, you may want a safe and confidential space to explore your feelings or seek to grow as a person. It is my wish that our sessions together can help you to understand yourself better and provide greater insight and awareness of your presenting issues or life experience. My integrative training allows me to be flexible and adaptable with my approach, as I feel that therapy is not a one size fits all endeavour.

Do you feel stressed or worried or perhaps stuck in some way and need someone to talk to? Life can get especially hard when you are struggling but keep going, pretending to the world that you’re ok but finding things difficult or overwhelming inside of yourself. Talking therapy offers a way out of this and my role is to facilitate a safe, supportive and confidential space where you can begin to address problem areas in your life. I work with a wide range of mental health difficulties including depression, anxiety, relationship conflict and difficulties, low self-esteem, stress, burnout and bereavement.

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.
